Beef Daube

"Posted for the Zaar World Tour 2006-Canada. From the "Best of International Cooking" cookbook. Note: prep time does NOT include soaking time for dried beans. UPDATE: I posted this recipe for the Zaar World Tour having never made it before. I have since made this recipe and discovered that it needs a lot of tweaking. It is rather bland, lacking in flavor. When I have time to mess with it, I will post the changes I made."

  1. This was a big hit last night! My husband raved and raved about it. (-: Made for ZWT4 Crockpot Challenge. Because Bayhill mentioned it needed a bit of tweaking, I added a tsp of ground chipotle pepper, and extra TBS of tomato paste, and a dash more of white wine. I also upped the salt and pepper. I followed the instructions as written up to where it says in #3 to "cover and bake 2 hours...". At that point I put the mixture into a preheated Crockpot and cooked on high for 6 hours. I cooked the carrots and noodles in the last half hour. What a fantastic dish!
