"Beer is typical for the Belgian braise, and gives a quite different character to beef than the red wine of the bourguignon. A bit of brown sugar masks the beer's slightly bitter quality, and a little vinegar at the end gives character. Serve this with parsley potatoes or buttered noodles, a green salad, and beer."

This is a good basic stew, I missed having more veggie variety but it was still very tasty. I served this over mashed potatoes. Made for SWT 2019
