BELGIUM BEEF STEW RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Season beef with salt and pepper, then dust with flour. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy saucepan with a lid over medium high heat. Add beef in batches; sear on all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add butter and reduce heat to medium. Add onions and carrots and sauté until lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Whisk together 1 cup of beef broth with brown sugar, tomato paste, and demi glace. Add to vegetables, stirring to combine. Add beer and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Return beef to pan along with potatoes, mushrooms, thyme, and remaining beef broth. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until beef is very tender. Before serving, stir in parsley and cider vinegar to taste.
