Yield Makes 6 to 8 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb beef chuck, cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch cubes
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 lb onions (6 to 8 medium), chopped (7 cups)
3 Turkish or 1 1/2 California bay leaves
2 (12-oz) bottles pilsner-style beer such as Budweiser
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 (1/2-inch-thick) slices country-style bread

Steps:

  • Pat beef dry and sprinkle with pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Heat oil and butter in a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown beef in 2 to 3 batches (without crowding), turning over once, until dark brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add onions and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally and scraping up brown bits from bottom of pot, until pale golden, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low and cover pot, then cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden, about 10 minutes more.
  • Add beef along with any juices on plate, bay leaves, and beer and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, spread 1 tablespoon mustard on each side of bread slices, then place bread on top of stew. Simmer stew, covered, until beef is very tender, about 2 hours.
  • Just before serving, stir bread into stew, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is incorporated and stew is thickened. Season with salt.

I've made this stew twice now and it's always a hit with my family. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I added some mushrooms and carrots. Both versions were delicious.
