Fricandó (Beef Stew) (Andorra)

Fricandó is a traditional Catalan stew that hails from Andorra and the Catalan regions of Spain. It is a hearty and richly flavored dish featuring tender slices of beef simmered in a sumptuous mushroom and wine sauce. The beef is typically marinated with aromatic herbs and slow-cooked until it melts in your mouth. Mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes add depth and earthiness to the sauce, which is seasoned with garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon, and thyme. Fricandó is often served with a side of roasted potatoes or rustic bread for a fulfilling meal that's perfect for colder weather or a comforting family dinner.
