From The Best Recipes in the World by Mark Bittman. “A simple beef stew that is good over buttered noodles or with plain boiled potatoes. Also works well with chunks of lamb shoulder or veal shoulder.”

Someone was once kind enough to send me the proper spices for this beef stew along with this recipe.
Belgian Safehouse Drunken Applesauce
Upon arriving in Belgium you might think “AHH safety, finally I’m in an allied nation”..WRONG!!! Belgium is CRAWLING with red spies. You’re walking down the street thinking…Hmm, maybe I’ll grab some mussels and a beer then take in a nice marionette show. Then while you’re in the theater BAM…Abe Lincoln style. Anyway…In the Autumn in Belgium after the apple harvest there are always a bunch of apples not fit for eating out of hand…but when you’re holed up in a safehouse, you have to stretch everything to make ends meet. Maybe you didn’t finish you beer last night, but you can’t imagine drinking it…well here’s a use for it. I like this with very oniony pork chops. the savory from the caramelized on ions, the saltiness of the pork and the sweetness of the applesauce is absolutely perfect.
Stoofvlees
All good Belgiums learn to cook with beer. Its the national drink. This dish is a slow cooker for cold winter days. The meat is so tender it melts in your mouth.
