**Classic Beef Short Ribs Carbonnade:**

This traditional recipe stays true to the authentic Belgian Carbonnade. The short ribs are browned and then simmered in a flavorful broth made with dark beer, beef broth, and a medley of aromatic vegetables, including onions, carrots, and celery. A touch of mustard adds a subtle tang, while the rich and complex flavors develop as the stew slowly braises, resulting in a tender and deeply satisfying dish.

**Modern Sweetened Beef Short Ribs Carbonnade:**

This variation introduces a touch of sweetness to the classic recipe. The short ribs are still browned and braised, but the broth is enhanced with the addition of brown sugar, creating a sweet and savory balance. The use of a lighter beer and the addition of fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary bring a modern twist to this timeless dish. The result is a stew that is both comforting and refreshingly different.

Both variations of Beef Short Ribs Carbonnade are sure to become favorites, whether you prefer the classic or the modern approach. So gather your ingredients, grab your pot, and let's embark on a culinary journey to Belgium with this delectable beef stew.

The basics of this recipe came from my mom, and it was passed down to her from her mother and Oma. I changed it a little, and you can too. You can braise in basically any liquid you want. The short ribs come out so delicious and tender, and there is not an overwhelming sauce to overpower them.
