As someone from Belgium one of the best beers to add is Grimbergen and next time try and cut you nest a bit bigger but that looks delicious

sadly my liquor store only had 2 to choose from and the other one was not a dark one.

Every Belgian has his own (or his mom's) recipe, so all Stoofvlees is different. You can throw in a slice of bread with spicy mustard. I use st bernardus 12 abt for beer. Sometimes add pear sirup to sweaten it. In Flanders we pronounce it "stow-flaze". Btw put some mayonaise on those fries!

Hi, looks amazing. I have my own recipe too, i dont use bacon and use speculoos cookies or the spices used for speculooos. This is a tip from the belgian friend who teach me to make it.

[@tomassaraceni]

that sounds good with the cookies but i will keep the bacon

[@nielscalicchia9796]

Looks very good! Glad you enjoyed it! Which beer did you use? I also thought it was strange you say it's cheap. Because I can imagine that getting Belgian beer in the States (?) can be pricey? But again, loved the video! Thanks

[@tomassaraceni]

the beer was not cheap but i use Belgian beer for the video, i imagine you can do this with any dark beer

[@emilianoabril]

Hi, use your local black sweet beer to accomplish the same

[@yveslauwereyns6677]

As a belgian I can very much confirm everyone here calls it 'stoofvlees', enlish pronunciation would be close to: stoh-vl-a-s (a like May, so vlays I think)

[@tomassaraceni]

a bunch of people have been telling me this, and I think my big mistake is that all my research came from English speaking people. stoofvlees all the way
