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

Brown the meat; remove from pan

Add onions and fry slowly until golden (some people also add tomatoes and/or mushrooms at this stage although it is not traditional)

Return the meat to the pan

Pour in the beer

Add all of the spices and mix well

Slather the bread slices with mustard and place, mustard side down on the top of the pan

Turn down the heat and cover

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.

Serve over Belgian Fries or mashed potatoes

I can't get a handle on what this tastes like. At the same time it sounds very good. I will have to make it. Thanks for the post.
Do you use Dijon or yellow mustard?

Hi Cabin, I've tried it with a variety of different mustards actually. I generally just use a yellow mustard though. I don't add a lot so it doesn't affect the flavour too much, just adds a bit of a kick. If you like spicy you can also add a bit of cayenne or paprika but this is not authentic.
