Ingredients
  • FLEMISH BEEF STEW
  • American-style beer is used in this recipe. If you want to try another beer, go for a Belgian ale - an imported pilsner might be too bitter.
  • Ingredients:
  • 2 lb beef chuck, cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 lb onions (6 to 8 medium), chopped (7 cups)
  • 3 Turkish or 1 1/2 California bay leaves
  • 2 (12-oz) bottles pilsner-style beer such as Budweiser
  • 6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 (1/2-inch-thick) slices country-style bread
  • Pat beef dry and sprinkle with pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Heat oil and butter in a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown beef in 2 to 3 batches (without crowding), turning over once, until dark brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add onions and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally and scraping up brown bits from bottom of pot, until pale golden, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low and cover pot, then cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden, about 10 minutes more.
  • Add beef along with any juices on plate, bay leaves, and beer and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, spread 1 tablespoon mustard on each side of bread slices, then place bread on top of stew. Simmer stew, covered, until beef is very tender, about 2 hours.
  • Just before serving, stir bread into stew, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is incorporated and stew is thickened. Season with salt.
  • note:
  • Stew can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat over moderate heat.
  • Makes 6 to 8 main-course servings.
