Braised Beef Carrot Recipe

8th January 2013 par a French girl cuisine Leave a Comment

Braised beef carrot

Two days before Christmas, we were waiting for my family with my boyfriend…

We flew to Nantes for the end-of-year celebrations. We rented a flat in the city center with my mother, brother and sister. Our plane was landing early afternoon, but the one of my family only around 7.00 pm. As a result, we told my mum that we would take care of dinner.

Surprisingly, we were taking the same flight than the son of the landlady and she was kind enough to pick all of us at the airport. Arriving at the apartment, we took the keys and went directly shopping. Thanks god, we found some beef stew meat. The flight of my family had one hour delay, so that’s was definitely a good idea to make a braised beef carrot. If you leave it to cook one hour longer, that’s even tastier.
