Flemish Stew, also known as stoofvlees or carbonnade[1][2] or called à la flamande[3] (in Dutch stoverij or stoofvlees) is a Flemish beef (or pork) and onion stew popular in Belgium, the Netherlands and French Flanders, made with beer, thyme, juniper berries, mustard and spiced bread. In French, a carbon(n)ade may also be a dish of grilled horse loin and certain beef stews cooked with red wine such as beef bourguignon in the east of France,[4] but in English, carbonnade is generally the Belgian dish. The dish is occasionally called Flemish stew, but that is a generic term, also used for waterzooi, hochepot, and so on.[5][6]
Commonly recommended beers for this dish include Oud bruin (Old Brown Beer), Brune Abbey beer and Flanders red.[7] Just before serving, a small amount of cider or wine vinegar and either brown sugar or red currant jelly are sometimes added.[7][8]
Carbonade is often accompanied by french fries, boiled potatoes or stoemp.[7][9] It is widely available in restaurants and friteries in Belgium and the Netherlands.
