Beef Daube Provençal is a traditional Provençal (or French) stew made with inexpensive beef that is braised in wine, vegetables, garlic, and herbes de Provence. The dish is traditionally cooked in a daubière, which is a terracotta pot that resembles a pitcher, with a concave lid. This method of cooking allows the flavors to meld together and the beef to become incredibly tender. Wikipedia
