Ingredients for 6 servings

Carbonnade flamande for 6 people:

1.5 kg of beef, half chuck half flank cut into thick slices (slices of 5 to 6cm on the side and 1cm thick)
300 g of smoked pork breast of good quality without rind
500 g of sweet onions (Roscoff style) finely sliced
1 bouquet garni
6 juniper berries enclosed in a small cloth
8 cl of good wine vinegar
30 g of brown muscovado sugar
75 cl of good quality blonde beer (some make it with brown beer)
40 cl of prepared veal stock not thickened
60 g of strong Dijon mustard
3 large slices of sourdough country bread (Poilâne style)
salt freshly ground pepper
butter and oil

Step-by-step directions

1/ In a large casserole dish (Le Creuset style) put 50g of butter and a little oil (or lard), then brown the pieces of beef until they have a nice color and place them on a plate.
2/ In the same casserole put the breast cut into lardons of medium size and the sliced onions. When this mixture has a nice color, lower the heat, add the muscovado sugar to lightly caramelize everything, then pour the vinegar (gastrique) and cook covered for 3 minutes then place on a plate.
3/ Still in the same casserole put a layer of onions, a layer of meat seasoning with salt and pepper at each layer, another layer of onions and finally the last of meat then bury the bouquet garni and the small bag of juniper berries in the center.
4/ Turn the oven on to 160°(th5).

1- /Spread your bread slices on both sides with strong mustard and shaping them a little, place them on the carbonnade so that they act as a sort of lid, then pour the beer and the veal stock and moisten to the height and cover.
6/ cook in the oven for 2 hours 30 minutes.
7/Your carbonnade is cooked, then remove the bouquet garni and the pouch of juniper berries.
