Traditional Style Swiss Steak
Family or company dinner. Very filling and it freezes great! I’ve made this Swiss Steak for a good 40 years..it’s definitely “tried and true”!
Limbourgian Beer Stew
For those of you interested in authentic Limbourgian Belgian cuisine! This is a popular local dish in the South of the Netherlands, as well as the Flemish part of Belgium. The meat becomes wonderfully soft by soaking it in vinegar overnight. I know it sounds odd, but be ready for an authentic European-style dish and you will love it! Some of the ingredients might be difficult to get in the U.S. Adding the spiced bread, the sandwich and rubbing the meat with flour adds a great taste to the stew and thickens the fluid. Tastes great with fries.
Belgian Beef Stew With Beer
One of my old standby real comfort food recipes. Very easy to make, and the combination of the flavors of the caramelized onions and beer give it a very subtle, complex rich taste without giving it a lot of extra calories. Great with rice, mashed potatoes or noodles and a simple green vegetable.
Flemish Beef Stew Cooked in Beer
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgium.” Use a rich, dark and slightly bitter beer, such as Rodenbach, or a dark Abbey ale. Serve with French fries or boiled potatoes, applesauce, and beer.
Poor Man’s Baked Beef in Beer Sauce Belgian Style
This is not a low fat dish, but it is absolutely delicious considering how relatively simple it is to prepare. The slow cooking and the ingredients make the beef come out very tender and with a rich hearty flavor that melts in your mouth. In my opinion this dish is well worth every bit of the work it takes to make it.
