Boeuf Flamande, also known as Flemish beef stew, is a classic Belgian dish. It's a rich and flavorful stew made with beef, onions, garlic, and beer. The beef is slowly cooked in the pot with the other ingredients until it becomes tender and juicy. Boeuf Flamande is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or crusty bread, making it a filling and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for colder weather and is sure to warm you up from the inside out.

Instructions

1.	Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cubed beef and brown on all sides, then remove from the pot and set aside.
2.	Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until soft. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for another minute.
3.	Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4.	Pour in the beer and add the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
5.	Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot over mashed potatoes or with crusty bread.
