+# Carbonade Flamande (Traditional Flemish beef stew)
+
+This one is a delicious slow cooked beef stewed in beer. Serves about 4.
+The smoked bacon is not in the traditional recipe but it's good. Don't add it if you want the real deal.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- beef (chuck, brisket, oxtail...): 1kg | 2 1/4lb
+- gingerbread: 5 slices
+- brown sugar: 1tbsp
+- brown beer (try to get a strong, tasty one): 1L | 4 cups
+- onions: 400g | 1lb
+- diced smoked bacon: 250g | 1/2lb (optional)
+- mustard
+- butter
+- vegetable oil
+- thyme
+- cloves(not garlic cloves, just cloves): 5
+- juniper berries: 5
+- bay leaves: 2
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Cut meat into big chunks
+2. Dice onions
+3. Sear the meat on high heat in a large stainless or cast iron pot until golden brown, using vegetable oil. Don't overcrowd the pot. Meanwhile, start sweating the onions in a pan, with the butter, and the smoked bacon.
+4. Set meat aside, deglaze the pot with a bit of beer, put in the onions, bacons and the brown sugar.
+5. Once the sugar is melted and the pot is deglazed properly, put the meat back in.
+6. Pour the rest of the beer into the pot.
+7. Toast the slices of gingerbread with a bit of mustard, put in the pot.
+8. Add thyme, bay leaves, cloves, juniper berries
+9. Add salt.
+10. Let it simmer for 4 to 8 hours. Check on it regularly and add water if you feel like the sauce is too thick and you need to cook it longer.
+11. Serve with a nice mashed potato.
