Stoofvlees or Belgian Beer Stew

Stoofvlees or Belgian Beer Stew
This is probably my favorite Belgian dish and, as far as I know, one of the most famous. I never make it as it is Elke's culinary territory and she can make is so fantastically well. The recipe is easy but it requires still quite some time and some work at the beginning.

It was a while I wanted to share this recipe .... but lately I kind of got the inspiration from one of my new colleagues (yes, Jan .... I am talking about you). Why? Well, he seems not to be able to spend a week in the office without eating it at least once for lunch! Surely he is the Stoofvlees man!! I will be curious to see if he is going to try and skip it next week once he reads this ;-)

Anyway, Jan ... as promised this is my wife version (west-flenders). Care to point out the differences from yours (oost-flanders)???

CCidenti Fra assomiglia tantissimo al manzo che preparava la mia zia Ginetta ;-)
Quando arrivava nel mio ristornate,lo preparava e nn sai quanti vassoi ho visto passare sotto i mie occhi pieni di questa meraviglia accompagnata da polenta;-)
E visto che qui è ancora inverno(sgrunttt) ci starebbe ancora bene ;-)
