Week 9: Stoofvlees

I don't really know what you'd call this dish in english, something like beef stew I guess. I'll just stick to the dutch word for it.
You start by taking 500 grams of beef (just like with the goulash you want the tougher parts) cut into fairly large chunks (again, just like with the goulash) and frying it on all sides in some butter. next you add about two tablespoons of flour and add a bottle of brown beer, two bayleaves and some thyme. Stir well and let simmer for an hour and a half to two hours. And really that's all there is to it. this is typically eaten with fries but works well with any other type of potatoe side dish.
