Parmentier of Carbonnade Flamande Recipe with Beer

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup dark beer
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the flour is lightly browned.
5. Add the beef broth, beer, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
6. Return the beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook in the oven for 2 hours or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
7. While the beef is cooking, prepare the mashed potatoes. Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
8. Add the milk and butter to the pot with the potatoes. Mash the potatoes until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Remove the bay leaves from the beef mixture and discard. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the bottom of a large baking dish.
10. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture and spread evenly.
11. Bake the Parmentier for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
12. Serve hot and enjoy!
