Directions

  1. Cut the meat into large chunks, about 2 cm in size. ≈ 8 min
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan or wok. Add the bay leaf and garlic clove and cook until browned. Remove them, then season the meat on both sides. Add the chopped onion and cook over low heat.
  3. Transfer everything to a ceramic dish. Deglaze the frying pan with a little water and pour it into the dish. Add the flour, thinly sliced carrots (or small onions), salt, and pepper, then cover with water and beer. Add broth if needed, to keep the meat moist.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 150 °C (300 °F) for 2 to 3 hours. Towards the end of the cooking time, remove the lid so that the sauce can reduce.
  5. About half an hour before the end of cooking, add the plums. Serve garnished with finely chopped fresh thyme. ≈ 2 min
