A meat stew, especially beef, braised in beer or wine with vegetables, popular in Belgian and French cuisine.
From French carbonade, possibly from Italian 'carbonata' (related to charcoal/coal), referring to meat that was grilled over coals. The term entered English through culinary traditions of Low Countries and influenced by Spanish/Italian cooking methods.
Carbonade perfectly shows how 'coal' and 'cooking' got tangled in language—the name might come from cooking meat over charcoal fires, and it evolved into a sophisticated braised dish that's pure comfort food!
