Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club - Fall Favorites with Beef Daube Provencal

Beef Daube

The Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club is back this month with the September theme of Fall Favorites.  Now, I know it still feels like summer, but Fall is just around the corner. (my favorite time of year)  The 5 bloggers who make up the Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club wanted to help inspire you with some Cooking Light recipes that remind us of fall flavors.

I chose to make the main dish.....Beef Daube Provencal.  A classic french braised beef, red wine and vegetable stew.  This is such a hearty and comforting stew.  Very rich in flavor and the beef turned out so tender.  Perfect for fall and the cooler months coming up.

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson:  Braising is a cooking technique in which the main ingredient is seared, or browned in fat, and then simmered in liquid on low heat in a covered pot. Braising is best done in a crock pot, pressure cooker or Dutch oven.  Cooking the meat slow, moist and over low heat is how to take a less expensive, tough cut of meat and turn it into something tender and flavorful.

This looks delish on a chilly fall evening~ which in Alabama is still a way away.
Thanks for bringing this to our virtual supper club! I've got dessert :-)

I just read our weather report for my area - we are to be in the 60's by the weekend! More like fall! Looks like a great dish Jamie!

I saw that you were making Beef Daube on Val's blog and I didn't want to miss it. It's one of our all time favorites. I prepared it last winter for guests and everyone cleaned their plate.

Your photos are lovely. I found the Daube hard to photograph for my blog.

My son just started middle school and they don't let the kids eat a morning snack. Then they rush them through lunch. Ugh. Just this morning, I was dreaming up some hearty lunch ideas that he could eat quickly while packing in some good quality calories. A beef stew came to mind and then ... voila! Your blog post. I think I'll give this recipe a try. Looks delish. BTW, really loving your The Kids Cook Monday posts.
