Ingredients
- 180 g Beef chuck, raw
- 40 g Vinegar, red wine
- 40 g Wine, red
- 40 g Onions, raw
- 30 g Carrots, raw
- 0.3 g Bay leaves
- 0.1 g Cloves
- 0.3 g Black pepper
- 8 g Sugar, brown
- 10 g Raisins
- 8 g Flour, all-purpose
- 60 g Beef broth
- 0.6 g Salt
Method
- Put the beef in a non-metallic container with the vinegar, red wine, onion, carrot, bay leaves, cloves and half the pepper; cover and marinate in the fridge for 2 days, turning occasionally.
- Lift out the beef and pat dry, reserving the marinade with its vegetables.
- Brown the beef all over in a heavy pot over medium-high heat, about 6-8 minutes.
- Pour in the reserved marinade with its vegetables and the beef broth, cover, and simmer gently for about 2 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Lift out the beef and strain the braising liquid, discarding the solids.
- Return the liquid to the pot, stir in the brown sugar and raisins, and whisk in the flour; simmer for 4-5 minutes until it thickens into a gravy (traditionally thickened with crushed gingerbread instead of flour, if you have some).
- Slice the beef, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and serve with the gravy.
