HACHEE: OLD-FASHIONED DUTCH BEEF STEW WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Prepare the Ingredients
• Cut the meat in 2.5cm x 2.5cm (1" x 1") chunks.
• Peel the onion, cut it in half, and slice each half in ½cm slices (3/16").
• Make a sachet from cheesecloth, with the bay leaves and cloves in it. You can skip this step if you do not have any cheesecloth and just add the ingredients to the stew. However, while it's easy to remove the bay leaves, you'll have to warn your guests that there are cloves in the stew.
• Mix the flour, a pinch of salt, and some freshly grated pepper. Toss the chunks of beef in the flour, make sure all pieces are evenly coated.
• Making the stew
• Preheat your oven to 150ºC (300ºF), and over a low flame, warm up your beef broth.
• Heat one tablespoon of oil over high heat in your Dutch oven. Once the oil is shimmering, and near its smoke point, add half the beef, and brown it on all sides.
• Remove the browned pieces of beef from the pot, and put them on a plate. Add another tablespoon of oil, and bring it to temperature. Add the rest of the beef, and brown it on all sides. When done, remove it from the pan, and add it on the plate with the other browned beef.
• Lower the heat to medium, and add butter. Start scraping up some of the browned pieces at the bottom of the pot. Once the butter is melted, add all the onions. Stir the onions occasionally, until they are glassy.
• Add the meat, the sachet, the vinegar, and the warm broth. Stir, and bring to a gentle boil.
• Once the pot reaches a boil, cover it with a lid, and put it in the oven for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, remove the pot from the oven, and add the apple butter. If the stew seems dry, add more broth.
• Leave the pan uncovered, and put it in the oven for another 1 hour. Check it from time to time to make sure the stew doesn't get too dry, or if the liquid is evaporating too quickly. Simply put the lid back on it. You can also add a bit more broth if necessary.
• Serving
• If you put the bay leaves and cloves in a sachet, simply remove the sachet. If you put them in the stew without a sachet, fish them out. This tastes great with mashed potatoes, or even hutspot.

BEEF STEW WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND AMBER LAGER

Steps:

• In a large, heavy pot, warm the oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, brown the meat well on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to keep the meat from scorching. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and repeat until all the meat is browned.
• Add the onions and butter to the pot and stir over high heat until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle in the sugar. Continue to cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the flour, thyme and carrots and raise the heat to high. Stir for 1 minute, then pour in the lager or ale, letting it come to a vigorous boil. Stir in the broth and tomato paste and return to a boil.
