Step-by-Step Instructions for Beef Carbonnade
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Cut beef short ribs into individual pieces and dust each piece with flour.
- In a large casserole pot, heat olive oil and brown the beef pieces on all sides for 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté diced carrots, sliced brown onions, and button mushrooms with chopped speck or bacon for 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in tomato paste and minced garlic, cooking for another minute.
- Pour in beer and scrape up any browned bits, simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add wholegrain mustard, thyme, and rosemary, stirring well to combine.
- Return the browned beef to the pot and add beef stock to cover the meat. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and bake in the oven for about 2 hours until the beef is tender.
- Check for tenderness; if needed, return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Taste and season before serving.

Notes
For best results, let the stew rest and cool before storing. It often tastes better the next day.
