Daube

Daube is a classic French stew made with braising meat (such as beef) slowly cooked in wine, vegetables, and herbs. The meat is usually browned first to give it a nice sear, and then it's simmered in a flavorful liquid for several hours until it's tender and falls apart easily.

To make a daube, you will need:

Here's a basic recipe for making daube:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

2. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Dredge the meat in flour, shaking off any excess.

3. Heat some olive oil in a large Dutch oven or braising pot over medium-high heat. Add the meat and brown on all sides. Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside.

4. In the same pot, add the chopped vegetables and cook until they are softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or two.

5. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes.

6. Add the red wine and bring to a boil. Let it reduce by half.

7. Return the meat to the pot and add enough broth to cover the meat. Add the herbs and bring to a simmer.

8. Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.

9. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve the daube over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
