Cut onions into narrow rings. Sauté meat cubes in oil in saucepan on all sides and remove.
Add onions to saucepan and saute until they turn color. Dust with flour and continue to saute, stirring, for two minutes. Add meat one more time and pour the beer. Add water until meat is just covered. Add sugar, bay leaf spice, thyme and vinegar.
Spread the white bread with mustard and put it on the meat. Cover and simmer at low temperature for two hours until meat is tender and crumbly, stirring occasionally.
Remove thyme and bay seasoning before serving. In the meantime, the white bread has completely dissolved. If necessary, add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Info:
An original Belgian specialty is gueuze, a slightly acidic hop juice that has undergone a second fermentation in the bottle. It is a blend of old and young lambic beers brewed according to a process that has hardly changed for 400 years.
These also form the basis for another Belgian beer specialty – fruit beers. In these, mainly cherries or raspberries are co-fermented. Belgian wheat beers are traditionally flavored with dried orange peel and coriander.
Tip: If you don’t like coriander, you can replace it with parsley.
