How to make a Flemish Beer Beef Stew | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

this one is pretty simple

1 - Three tbsp of unsalted butters (50gr)

2 - One garlic clove

3 - Three slices of good quality bacon

4 - One and 1/2 yellow onions

5 - Three tbsp of flour (50gr)

6 - One and 1/2 tbsp of brown sugar (optional)

7 - Two pounds (approx. 1 kg) of beef (chuck steak or round steak), fat removed, cut into pieces 2-3 inches/4-7cm wide

8 - Salt and Pepper, a pinch of each

9 - 12-14 oz (400ml) of a dark/red Belgian beer, such as Gueze or Douchesse de Bourgogne. You can't simply use any beer, because 90% of the authentic flavors of a Carbonnade Flamande depend on the beer you use).

10 - A slice of good quality bread, smeared with one heaping tbsp of mustard (preferably Moutard a' l'ancienne or dijon, but yellow will do too)
