Critical Success Points

  • Browning the beef cubes to develop flavor
  • Sweating the onions low and slow for 45 minutes
  • Reducing the beer‑onion mixture to concentrate flavor
  • Long, low‑temperature oven braise (5‑6 hours)

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns; use a splatter guard.
  • Dutch oven handles become extremely hot; always use oven mitts.
  • Alcohol vapors from simmering beer are flammable; keep flame low.
