Flemish Beef Stew is called the national dish of Belgium. It is best made in advance so ideal for busy people or those that want to chill on the night. The ingredients create a dish that will have you drooling to be served. This main dish is so full of flavour with the beef and red wine combining perfectly as always. Add the jelly, beer, veg, thyme and basil and you can see how good this is without my telling you.
