Tips for a successful Flemish carbonade

Traditional Flemish carbonade dish served with a creamy dark beer sauce, accompanied by homemade fries and garnished with fresh herbs.
  • Choice of meat: choose pieces to be simmered such as chuck, scoter or heel, which become tender after slow cooking.

  • Homemade gingerbread: If you can, make homemade gingerbread for even more flavor.
