This New Orleans Daube is a robust, slow-braised beef dish that embodies the hearty spirit of Southern cooking. A 4-5 pound beef roast is gently cooked with salt pork, onions, garlic, and a blend of thyme, bay leaves, and cloves. The long cooking time transforms the tough cut into fork-tender meat, while the sherry and water create a rich, aromatic pan sauce. Unlike traditional stews served with potatoes, this recipe is traditionally plated over cooked spaghetti, allowing the noodles to soak up the flavorful juices. It is a perfect comfort food for cold evenings or family gatherings, offering a deep, savory taste that pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a crisp green salad.

Pour the water and sherry into the pan around the meat.

Cover the pan tightly with a sheet of foil, then place the lid on top to ensure a sealed environment for braising.

Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. Do not remove the lid during this time.
