About this

Carbonnade flamande is a traditional Belgian beef stew slow-cooked in beer with onions, thyme, bay leaves, and mustard, resulting in tender meat and a rich, malty gravy often served with fries or bread. Originating from Flanders, it appears on menus across Belgium, especially in brasserie-style eateries and home kitchens, where regional beers like those from Chimay or Westmalle define its flavor profile.
