'''Daube''' is a classic [[France|French]] [[stew]] made with cubed [[beef]] [[Braising|braised]] in [[wine]], [[vegetable]]s, [[garlic]], and [[herbes de provence]]. Although most modern recipes call for red wine, a minority call for white wine, and the earliest recorded daube recipes call for white wine. Variations also call for [[olive]]s, [[prune]]s, and flavoring with [[duck]] fat, [[vinegar]], [[brandy]], [[lavender]], [[nutmeg]], [[cinnamon]], [[cloves]], [[juniper berries]], or [[Orange (fruit)|orange]] peel. For best flavor, it is cooked in several stages, and cooled for a day between each stage to allow the flavors to meld together. In the [[Camargue]] area of France, [[Cattle|bull]]s killed in the [[bull-fighting]] [[festival]]s are often used for daube.
It is generally served with [[noodle]]s or mashed [[potato]]es, and red wine to drink.
There are recipes for lamb daube, which would be made with white wine.
