Stoofvlees met Bier
Stoofvlees met bier, also known as Flemish stew, is a rich and hearty beef stew slow-cooked in dark beer. It's a classic comfort food dish, often served with fries, mashed potatoes, or bread. The long, slow cooking process tenderizes the beef and melds the flavors of the beer, onions, and spices into a deeply satisfying meal.

👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Drying the meat ensures a better sear. - 2
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes per batch💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will steam the meat instead of searing it. - 3
Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 6-8 minutes - 4
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes - 5
Gradually pour in the dark beer and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Stir until the sauce is smooth.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Using a dark beer adds depth of flavor. - 6
Return the seared beef to the pot. Stir in the mustard, apple stroop (if using), bay leaves, and thyme sprigs.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The apple stroop adds a subtle sweetness that balances the richness of the stew. - 7
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
⏱️ 2.5-3 hours💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add a splash of water or broth if the stew becomes too dry. - 8
Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The stew can be made a day in advance; the flavors deepen overnight.
