How to make Marinated Braised Beef (Sauerbraten) - Recipe in description
For the most tender, juicy roast beef, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
Ingredients for 6 portions
For the marinade
1 large bunch of greens
3 cloves
12 peppercorns
4 crushed juniper berries
2 bay leaves
400 ml red wine
400 ml mild red wine vinegar
a good 1.5 kg of roast beef (head or shoulder; organic is best)
Salt, fresh pepper
2 tablespoons concentrated butter
1 piece of bacon rind
50 g pumpernickel bread
100 g sultanas
optionally, some sugar
possibly light sauce thickener
optionally, some whipped cream (50 g)
2 tablespoons of almond slivers
For the marinade, clean, wash and dice the greens. Boil greens, spices, wine and vinegar together (photo 1) and leave to cool. Wash the meat and place it, together with the marinade, in a large, stable freezer bag. Close firmly and allow to marinade in the fridge for 2-3 days. Turn the meat every day.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees; fan oven 160 degrees; gas mark 3.
Remove the meat, blot dry and cover all over with salt and pepper. Warm concentrated butter in a roasting pan and fry the meat in it until it is brown all over. Add the marinade with the vegetables and the bacon; boil and place in the oven with a lid. Stew for about 2 hours 30 minutes until tender.
Remove meat and keep it warm. Pour stewing stock through a sieve and boil together somewhat with the crumbled pumpernickel and the washed raisins.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper and sugar. Possibly thicken with some sauce thickener and add a splash of cream. Sprinkle in half of the almonds. Cut the meat into strips and serve together with the sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the almonds.
Tip:
If you have it to hand, after cooling put another 100–200 ml of red port wine into the bag to marinate. That rounds off the sauce particularly well later.
Serve with: potato dumplings or potato pancakes
