Instructions
-
1Pat meat dry, season with salt and pepper. Sear in hot oil, working in batches, until browned on all sides. Set aside.
-
2Caramelize onions in the same pot for 10 minutes. Add garlic and carrots, sauté 3 minutes.
-
3Deglaze with beer, scraping up browned bits. Return meat to pot. Add bay leaf and thyme.
-
4Spread spice bread with mustard, place on top of meat — it will dissolve and thicken the sauce.
-
5Stir in brown sugar. Cover and braise 2 hours at 300°F (150°C) in the oven — or 2 hours on the stovetop over low heat.
-
6Meat should be fork-tender. Strain sauce through a sieve if smoother texture is desired.
-
7Stir cannabis butter in small flakes into the hot (not boiling) sauce until it shines.
Pro Tips
- Spice bread is not a trick — it's the traditional thickener and adds depth.
- Stir in cannabis butter at the end at below 85°F, do not bring back to a boil.
- Real carbonade requires Belgian dark beer — Guinness works as an emergency substitute.
- Even better the next day — carbonade is a classic reheating dish.
