Ingredients for 8 servings

2 kg beef cheeks (Bazas or Charolais for example) cut into large cubes
2 veal feet cut in half
1 pork rind
1 ham hock from Bayonne (if possible)
1 kg potatoes in quarters (Bintje)
1 kg spring carrots (créances if you can find them) peeled and cut into pieces
1 kg yellow onions thinly sliced
2 medium turnips in quarters
3 garlic cloves just crushed or a few stems of garlic shoots thinly sliced
1 bouquet garni
30 g dried French mushrooms (cèpes)
salt
freshly ground pepper
1 bottle of good red wine (Cahors or Madiran)
1/4 l mineral water

Step-by-step directions

1 In a large, wide pot brown your pieces of beef in duck fat (if possible) then remove to a plate.

2 Line the bottom with the large pork rind and veal feet.

3 Place a layer of beef, season, add the ham hock then a layer of vegetables, repeat if needed. Add the bouquet garni and the dried mushrooms slightly chopped.

4 Cover with wine and water, salt (not too much) and pepper then cover.

5 Cook for a minimum of 4h30 at mid-oven heated to 110°(th 4) then turn it off leaving it inside*.

6 Serve with potatoes cooked in a steamer basket, then placed on the daube béarnaise for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
* What a shame that bakers no longer let the oven cool slowly throughout the night because that's where the real daube cooking happened.
So in the morning you just had to remove the excess fat and it was perfect (experience lived a long time ago in Langon at Oliver's).
