📝 Preparation Steps
1
Step 1. Sear the Meat:
2
In a large fry pan, heat the clarified butter. Once hot, add the beef chunks and season them with salt and black pepper. Sear the beef chunks in batches until they have a golden-brown crust from the Maillard reaction. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper browning.
3
Remove the seared beef and set aside.

Step 2. Prepare the Aromatics:
5
In a large Staub Dutch Oven or oven-safe dish, sauté the diced bacon over medium heat until it starts to render its fat. Add the chopped onion and cook until light golden brown.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover with a lid. Transfer to the preheated oven and let it cook for about 2.⏱️ 5 hours.

Step 5. Thicken the Stew:
13
Around ⏱️ 45 minutes before the stew is ready, remove it from the oven. The beef should start to be more tender but not yet fall apart when tested with a fork.
14
Gradually stir in the prepared roux (or enough flour) to thicken the stew to your preference. Ensure the flour is well incorporated.
15
Return the pot to the oven and continue cooking until the stew reaches your desired thickness, and the meat falls apart easily when tested with a fork.

Serve the stew hot, accompanied by a generous portion of mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs and, if desired, additional prunes for a unique touch.Here is a link to my Garlic Butter Mashed Potatoes recipe
