Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.


4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound onions, sliced
2 pounds lean beef shoulder or round, cut 1/4" thick slices
2 teaspoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups dark beer
1 cup beef stock
salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons mixed dried herbs, crumbled (e.g., thyme, rosemary, sage)
To a casserole pan, add butter. When butter is hot, stir in onions and saute until caramelized. Pour browned onions into a sieve over a bowl and let drain.
Pour the fat from the onions back into the casserole and when the fat is hot add beef and remove as slices become brown. Drain in the sieve with the onions.
In the same casserole, stir in the brown sugar and add the flour. When a roux has formed, stir in mustard and add beer slowly to deglaze the pan. Add beef stock and season with salt and pepper. Pour liquid into a bowl.
Layer the casserole with the meat and onions, making 3 layers of meat, sandwiching 2 layers of onions. Add a bay leaf and a teaspoon of mixed herbs on each layer of onions.
Pour beef sauce back into the casserole. Add more beer to cover the meat if necessary. Bring casserole to a boil
Immediately cover and bake in a 300 degrees F oven for 3 hours. Skim off fat, season with salt and pepper and serve.

If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Absolutely spectacular!! This was a huge hit. I used a Dutch oven vs. a casserole, and Newcastle Brown Ale as the beer (and served as the drink with the meal, a perfect accompaniment).
