One of my colleagues taught me how to make Beef Carbonade when we were in Kinshasa, a Belgian Colony before. It is more associated with a classic Belgian dish. This Beef Carbonade is widely available in Kinshasa restaurants.

How to Make Beef Carbonnade:
Dice the Beef and clean it in running water. Peel the Carrots and blanch it for five minutes in salted boiling water and drain it. Mince the Garlic. Chop the Onion.
Season the beef with Salt and Pepper. Roll it in the All-Purpose Flour to form a light coating. Heat Vegetable Oil in a non-stick pan over high heat. Sauté the Beef until browned all over. Remove it with a slotted spoon. Keep it aside.
Reduce the heat and add the Unsalted Butter. Sauté Bacon just for two minutes. Next add the chopped Onion and sauté it.

My Recipe Notes on Beef Carbonade:
1. Cut away the excess fat from the Beef.
2. You can even add 2 medium sized diced Potatoes to enhance the taste.
3. You can use White Sugar instead of Brown Sugar.
4. Adjust the Pepper Powder as per your tolerance level.
5. Before serving, discard any fat from cooking liquid.
Happy Cooking..
