Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg of beef chuck cut into medium-sized pieces
  • 1 cup of lardons or 6 strips of bacon sliced into small pieces
  • 1 onion chopped up
  • 1 carrot sliced
  • 1 leek sliced
  • 1.5 cups of dark beer eg. Guinness, Oud bruin, Brune Abbey beer or Flanders red
  • 2 cups of liquid beef stock
  • 1 garlic clove chopped up
  • 4 sprigs of thyme
  • 4 sprigs of parsley
  • 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard
  • 2 slices of sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the beef, bacon, and butter in the Instant pot and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (except the flour, bread and mustard), and set the Instant Pot to High Pressure for 45 minutes.
  • Once the countdown has finished, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
  • Mix in the flour with a tablespoon of water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the Instant Pot.
  • Spread the mustard on the sliced bread and add it into the Instant pot.
  • Press the Sauté button again for 5 minutes to let the sauce thicken and the bread disintegrate into the stew while mixing.
  • Let the carbonade flamande rest for 10 minutes on the Keep Warm function.
  • Taste to add salt and pepper if necessary.

Notes

The alcohol usually cooks off by the time it is served, but if you don't want to use beer, replace it with:
    • Additional 1.5 cups of beef broth
    • 1 tbsp of wine vinegar
