The inspiration today is from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan. Her recipe for Go To Beef Daube screams celebration. We are celebrating our son's holiday visit - sadly about to come to a close as we put him on a plane Saturday. It's a long way to California! The first time we shared this meal was back in Waynesville on a lovely Sunday afternoon on our back deck. This will be our first time enjoying this at our new home in Old Salem.
I have learned that it is important not to rush the step of caramelizing the meat. David and I are almost in a stupor from the aroma permeating the house. Of course, cognac and a full bottle of red wine are key ingredients. Here's to a year of many things to celebrate!
Into the oven it goes...for 2 1/2 hours!
