This dish is electrified by the classic braised beef recipes that seem in with reference to all classic community cookbooks within the South. The classic relied on a packet of dry onion soup mix for seasoning and a bottle of cola to aid tenderize the beef. This recipe updates those flavors a little. Reasonably than dry soup mix, the gravy involves new onions and herbs. Stress-cooking ensures relaxed beef, but the cola is soundless right here for model. Make nice that to exercise cola sweetened with cane sugar that holds its model when cooked, similar to one of the most native, classic, or throwback soda pops that are well-liked and abundant for the time being. I also add Southern bourbon. It all adds as much as relaxed braised beef in noteworthy gravy. —Food52
