Recipe #283: Carbonnades À La Flamande (Beef and Onions Braised in Beer)

After several weeks of travel and then time spent catching up with friends after, I finally had time to cook again!  Back to my dear Julia Child and her Mastering the Art of French Cooking.  This one is found on page 317 of volume one.  The meat is so tender and the sauce is savory and sweet.  I think the leftovers are even going to be amazing.

Mmmmm... This would be good with mashed potatoes too.

Browning the beef

Cute little herb bouquet (parsley, thyme, bay leaf)

Ready for the oven

2.5 hours later... the house smells so good...
