Carbonade flamande

Flemish cuisine is known for its hearty, comforting dishes that are perfect for cold weather. One of the most famous dishes is carbonade flamande, a slow-cooked beef stew made with beer, onions, and spices. But did you know that the name “carbonade” is derived from the French word “carbonade,” meaning “made with charcoal”? This is a nod to the dish's origin as a meal cooked by soldiers over open fires, who would use charcoal to cook the stew.
