Boeuf aux Carottes

I have been obsessing about French food lately. Maybe because this time last year I was in France? And I wish that I was there- or at least somewhere other then here. Anyways, my latest cookbook acquisitions have been all in French cooking. I have been pouring over all the recipes and pictures. It all looks so yummy. Not just tarte tatin and creme bruille but cabbage galette and beef! I actually bought red meat for the first time in my life last week! I purchased filet mignon. I had never cooked beef. Never! So my first recipe to try was steak au frittes. It was o.k, but not like I had imagined. I cut the meat very thin and fried it in butter and herbs and Atlas and Leif really liked it, but me and the girls didn't. Poppet had a feast with the leftovers- we have been teaching him to crawl. I cooked the rest of the meat today and made boeuf aux carottes. Since my kids don't love cooked carrots I added potatoes. It was a hit with all but Emilia- though she loved the potatoes. Everything just melted in the mouth... My next recipe will be a cabbage galette. It looks so good. It has a crust on the top and bottom. Of course when I make it I'll post pictures.
