This thread is about cooking meat with slow, moist heat. Just about any meat will do....Beef, Pork, Lamb, even chicken.
As a general rule, the meat is browned and then simmered in some kind of liquid with spices, onions, garlic, assorted seasonings, etc.
Let's have your favorite braising recipes here....

There's a great recipe, you can cook any meat to perfection.
You can take any kind of steak or poultry and it will tase great, and it is easy to make. Just cut the meat into medium size pieces. Dip it into mayonnaise, and then dip it into a Caucasian spice called khmelly-sunneli. It's called so in russin, I just don't know the English word. a spice that gives a rich odor and a piquant taste. You don't need salt or pepper if you use it. Leave the meat for about half an hour. And then just fry it on a small fire, and you'll be delighted with your meal.
