New Orleans Daube

New Orleans Daube recipe image
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.
