Beef Braised in Brown Butter (Draadjesvlees)
Browned butter, bay leaves and whole cloves deepen the beefy flavors of the meat.
This is a Dutch, slow cooked beef recipe that results in melt-in-our-mouth, rich beefy goodness. You can cook it in a Dutch oven or move it to a slow cooker after the initial searing.

ShareIngredients (7)
- 3 pound boneless chuck roast
- Coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 tablespoon butter
- Water
- 4 whole cloves
- 2 bay leaves
Directions
- Trim excess fat off beef. Liberally sprinkle both sides of meat with salt and black pepper.
- Melt butter in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. When butter gets a toasty brown color, add meat. Sear on 3 to 4 minutes, then flip to sear the other side. When both sides are nicely browned, add water, just enough to cover the meat, along with bay leaves and cloves. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook 3 hours.
- After 3 hours, remove meat and let it rest 10 minutes. Slice it into ¼-inch pieces, return meat to pan and cook for another hour.
- Serve the sliced meat in its rich juices with a hutspot if you are feeling fancy :)
