Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup Belgian beer (preferably a dark beer)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices of bread (preferably a crusty type)
  • 1 tbsp mustard

Instructions

  1. 1Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. 2Season the beef pieces with salt and pepper, then brown them in batches in the hot oil. Remove and set aside.
  3. 3In the same pot, add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  8. 8During the last 30 minutes of cooking, spread mustard on the slices of bread and place them on top of the stew to soak up the flavors.
