Flemish Carbonade

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   In a shallow bowl, place the flour. Dredge the beef slices in the flour.

3. 3

   In a large ovenproof saucepan, heat the oil and half (2 tbsp) of the butter over medium-high heat. Brown a few slices of beef at a time. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate. If necessary, clean the bottom of the pan to remove any accumulated flour bits.

4. 4

   In the same saucepan, brown the onions in the remaining butter. Add the remaining ingredients and the reserved meat. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.

5. 5

   Bake for 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Adjust the seasoning. Serve with mashed vegetables, if desired.
