This is my tweaked version of a recipe taken from my very old and well worn copy of The Good Housekeeping Cookbook. This is said to be a very old and traditional recipe in Belgium. I think it has the best flavor when a dark beer is used. Also, the original recipe I have called for 8 large onions. I scaled the onions back a bit! Carbonnade of Beef is delicious served with cooked noodles, hot cooked rice or mashed potatoes.
Use a full-flavored ale when preparing this dish. I got this on emazing and want to share with all who love dishes prepared in Beer out here !
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” Ruth says this soup has a special status in Belgium where it’s commonly served at wedding receptions, anniversaries and other festive occasions. It’s a little different from the tomato soup I grew up with: creamy, yes, but with bits of fresh tomato and the flavors of Madeira or Cognac providing a kind of grown-up undertone. This is Ruth’s mother’s version; it can be made a day ahead.
