POT ROAST CARBONNADE
From Ten Dollar Dinners on the Food Network. I made this alongside baked potatoes but you could easily add potatoes to the mix before putting in the oven and you would have more of a one pot meal. This isn't particularly saucy so don't think stew. The flavor is wonderful and the meat is so tender.

Tips for Making the Best Carbonnade de Boeuf:
- Choose the right cut of beef: The best cuts for carbonnade de boeuf are chuck roast, blade roast, or short ribs. These cuts have a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which will help to keep the meat moist and tender during the long cooking process.
- Brown the meat well: Browning the meat before braising it will help to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of brown.
- Use a good quality beer: The beer that you use in your carbonnade de boeuf will contribute significantly to the flavor of the dish. Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking, and that has a malty flavor. Avoid using light beers or beers that are too hoppy.
- Don't skimp on the spices: Carbonnade de boeuf is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount of spices. Common spices used in carbonnade de boeuf include cloves, nutmeg, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
- Cook the carbonnade de boeuf low and slow: Carbonnade de boeuf is a dish that benefits from long, slow cooking. This allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender. Cook the carbonnade de boeuf for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
