How long can you keep stew?

You can freeze stew and keep it for 9 months. Stew can be kept in your fridge for 2 days and vacuum-sealed for up to 2 weeks.

What beer to use for stew?

If you want nice dark stew, go for a dark beer. Do not use bitter beer if you are not a fan of a bitter taste in your stew. Kriek or fruit beer will make the stew sweeter. Adding a touch of sweetness can always be done with Liège syrup or brown sugar. You can also replace the beer with red wine and add some tomato paste to make an Italian version.

Preparation method

How do you make this?

First, finely chop the onion and sauté it in butter.

Let the butter foam separately in a stew pot and color each piece of meat nicely brown all around.

Do not put too much in the pot at once.

Add the meat to the onions and deglaze your pan with the beer.

Season with pepper and salt, add thyme and bay leaf, and also the warm brown beer.

Spread the mustard on the slice of bread and add it in.

Add the pear syrup and let it simmer for about 2 hours covered.

The cooking time will depend on the quality of the meat.

Put all the ingredients for the mayo in a tall measuring cup that fits your hand blender.

Place the hand blender at the bottom of the measuring cup and slowly pull it up, mix until everything is well combined, taste and season, store in the fridge in a jar with a lid.

Finely chop the endive and mix in 2 generous scoops of mayo.

Peel the potatoes, cut into fries, rinse, and dry them.

Pre-fry them at 150°C for about 5 minutes until they feel soft.

Place on kitchen paper, do not fry too much at once.

Once the stew is tender, you can fry the fries.

Heat your fryer to 180°C and fry the fries until golden brown and crispy.
