How to make it

  • 1) Place meat in a deep Tupperware container with a tight fitting lid, fill with vinegar (or mixture) until fully covered.
  • 2) Add bay leafs and pepper corns and place the sealed container in the refrigerator, refrigerate for 2-3 days turning the meat around a few times to evenly marinate.
  • 3) Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry.
  • 4) Season the meat with course ground pepper on all sides.
  • 5) Cut the onions in half and slice thin, grate the carrots and potatoes coarsely.
  • 6) Heat the cooking oil and brown the meat, turning it until browned on all sides.
  • 7) Add the onions and sauté until golden brown.
  • 8) Salt the meat and add the grated potatoes and carrots, bouillon and, optionally some more red wine (esp. if you used only vinegar before).
  • 9) Add 1 cup of the marinade (without leaves and pepper) and simmer for at least 1 1/2 hours on low heat in a covered Dutch oven, turning only once.
  • 10) Remove the meat from the pot and keep warm. Puree the sauce, and reduce a little (I usually reduce by a 1/4.
