Morphology
carbonnade + flamande
Both elements are non‑English borrowings and do not transparently describe the dish to a B1 learner: 'carbonnade' is not a common English word and 'flamande' only indicates Flemish origin, which at best suggests region but not cooking method or ingredients. As a conventional name for a specific regional stew, the overall meaning (beef stewed in beer with seasonings) cannot be reliably derived from the parts without prior exposure.
Etymology
Carbonnade flamande may come from a word for 'coal' because cooks once seared meat over hot coals and then slowly stewed it in dark beer. That's why the name now refers to a rich Flemish beef stew cooked in beer.
