Carbonnade flamande is a traditional Belgian dish made of beef stew cooked in beer, typically dark Belgian beer such as abbey or brown beer. The beef is first browned with onions and then simmered in the beer with garlic, cloves, thyme, and bay leaves until tender. The dish is typically served with bread or fries and is considered a comfort food in Belgium. It is a hearty, flavorful dish that is well suited for cold weather, and is often enjoyed with a glass of the same beer used in the cooking.
