This is a traditional Belgian dish. It is a meat stew that is commonly served with Belgian Frites (French fries) or mashed potato. The longer you can stew it the better! Ingredients:
300-500g stewing beef cut into bite sized chunks |
oil or butter for frying |
1 large chopped onion |
1 bottle of dark (preferably belgian) beer, (nb: guinness also works well and i have tried this recipe with belgian raspberry beer which gave a very tasty result as well.) |
2-4 slices of bread (cut off the crusts to avoid lumpy sauce) |
mustard |
salt and pepper to taste |
herbs such as bay, thyme etc can be used to taste |
Directions:
1. Brown the meat; remove from pan
2. Add onions and fry slowly until golden (some people also add tomatoes and/or mushrooms at this stage although it is not traditional)
3. Return the meat to the pan
4. Pour in the beer
5. Add all of the spices and mix well
6. Slather the bread slices with mustard and place, mustard side down on the top of the pan
7. Turn down the heat and cover
8. Cook on low heat for as long as you can. The longer you cook, the more tender the meat. Try for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
9. Serve over Belgian Fries or mashed potatoes
