[Gretchen Beck]

Chiquart's Beef in Lamprey sauce uses galangal and grains of paradise. 
Here's my reconstruction from several years back:

3 lbs beef roast



Sauce

4 Tbsp Toasted bread crumbs

3/4 cup Red wine

3/4cup Beef Boulion or broth

1 -2 Tbsp Red wine vinegar

1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp grains of paradise

1/8 - 1/4 tsp pepper

1/16 tsp nutmeg

1/4 - 1/2 tsp galingale

1/4 tsp ginger

1/8 tsp cloves

1/16 tsp mace



Mix wine, boullion, and vinegar, soak bread crumbs in the mixture. Grind 
spices together into a fine powder and mix into liquid. Put on low heat and 
simmer. Cut beef up into stew sized chunks, and simmer in sauce for 15 
minutes. Serve it forth.

(It's yummy)
