Sauerbraten With Julienne Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the meat, carrots, celery root, leeks, onions, honey, allspice, cloves, ginger, garlic, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, cinnamon stick, red wine, balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 5 days.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F; position an oven rack at the second-lowest height.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Strain the vegetables through a sieve, reserving the marinade and vegetables separately.
• Heat the clarified butter in a roasting pan and then brown the meat vigorously on both sides. Add the reserved vegetables and continue to cook until you have a nice caramelization on the meat and vegetables. (This step is important for the color and flavor of the gravy.) Add the marinade to the roasting pan and cover everything with aluminum foil.
• Bake until the meat is tender, 3 to 4 hours.
• Set the roast on a carving board and wrap it in aluminum foil. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan and boil down to about 500 milliliters/2 cups.
• Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water, then add to the sauce. Boil the sauce to thicken.
• Slice the roast and serve with the sauce and vegetables or with braised red cabbage and dumplings.

Steps:

• Heat water, red wine, cider vinegar, lemon, 1/2 onion, garlic, cloves, bay leaves, white sugar, salt, juniper berries, and peppercorns in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Allow marinade to cool and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add beef roast, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 3 days, turning the roast twice a day.
• Place onions, carrots, and celery in a slow cooker. Remove roast from marinade and place atop vegetables. Strain marinade and pour 2 1/2 cups over roast; reserve remaining marinade.
• Cover and cook roast on Low for 8 hours. Turn slow cooker off. Transfer roast to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Strain cooking liquid into a large bowl and return vegetables to slow cooker to rest.
• Heat about 3 cups cooking liquid and gingersnaps in a saucepan over medium-high heat, adding reserved marinade as needed, until gravy is thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Slice roast and serve with vegetables and gravy.

Steps:

• Place beef rump roast, onions, vinegar, water, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, sugar, cloves, and bay leaves in a large pot. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days, turning meat daily. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels, reserving marinade.
• Season flour to taste with salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Sprinkle flour mixture over beef.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat; cook beef until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Pour reserved marinade over beef, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until beef is tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove beef to a platter and slice.
• Strain solids from remaining liquid and continue cooking over medium heat. Add gingersnap cookies and simmer until gravy is thickened about 10 minutes. Serve gravy over sliced beef.

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups broth, the wine, vinegar, 1 chopped onion, the crushed garlic, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, juniper berries, peppercorns and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Place the beef in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days, turning daily.
• Preheat the oven to 350. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry; season with salt. Strain the marinade, discarding the solids. Heat a large ovenproof pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the meat and brown on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Add the carrots, celery and the remaining onion to the pot and cook until slightly softened, 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and chopped thyme and cook 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the strained marinade and the remaining 1 cup broth and bring to a simmer. Return the meat to the pot, cover and cook in the oven until tender, 2 hours 30 minutes.
• Remove the meat and transfer to a plate. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in the gingersnaps and simmer until thickened; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the meat; serve with spaetzle, the vegetables and sauce and sour cream, if desired. Top with parsley.

Steps:

• Place meat in bowl and cover with onion, peppercorns, bay leaf and cloves. Add vinegar and wine and let marinate for four days in the refrigerator. Turn meat once each day to coat well. After four days, remove meat from marinade and dry well. Discard marinade.
• Heat clarified butter in large casserole dish and brown meat quickly on all sides. Season with salt. Add water to side of pan and add some rye bread crust. Simmer gently, covered, for one hour, turning meat from time to time and adding more water when necessary.
• When cooked, place meat on serving dish. Mix together cornstarch with water and add to gravy to thicken. Serve sauce on side.

Steps:

• Place the beef, vinegar, wine, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, carrots, celery, onions and leeks in a bowl small enough so the meat is immersed in the liquid. Marinate in the refrigerator for 5 days.
• Remove the beef from the marinade. Melt the butter in a large casserole pot and brown the beef on all sides. Pour in the marinade, including the solid ingredients; cover and simmer over low heat, about 2 hours. Remove the beef from the pot and pour the sauce through a fine strainer. Return the beef and liquid to a casserole dish.
• Melt the lard in a small saucepan; add the flour and cook until brown. Stir in 2 cups of beef cooking liquid to make a smooth sauce. Add the sauce to the beef, mixing it with any remaining cooking liquid in the casserole. Cook over low heat, about 15 minutes.
• Cut the beef into slices and serve with the sauce.

Steps:

• For larding: Toss larding pork with onion, lemon rind, allspice and salt and pepper. Cut deep incisions into meat with larding needle, press some of pork and onion mixture into needle and insert into meat. Continue to lard meat in the same manner until all larding pork is used. Rub remaining onion mixture over meat.
• For marinade: Bring all ingredients to a rapid boil in a heavy saucepan and simmer 5 minutes.
• Place meat in large heatproof, nonmetallic bowl. Pour in hot marinade, cool to room temperature and chill, covered, 4 days, turning meat twice a day.
• Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Strain marinade, reserving liquid and solids. Dredge meat in flour and season with salt and pepper. In large casserole heat vegetable oil over moderate heat until hot. Add beef and brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer meat to platter and discard drippings from casserole. Add butter and heat until hot. Add carrots, onions, reserved marinade solids and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Return meat to casserole, add marinade and tomato paste. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered with foil and the lid, for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until tender.
• Remove meat to platter and cover loosely with foil. Skim cooking liquid and strain, discarding solids. Return marinade to casserole, add sugar, raisins and gingersnaps and simmer 5 minutes. In a small bowl whisk flour with 1/3 cup water. Whisk into simmering liquid and simmer until lightly thickened.
• To serve: Slice meat across grain, arrange on platter, overlapping slices slightly and nap with some of gravy. Pass remaining gravy separately. Serve with Spaetzle and Red Cabbage.

Steps:

• The marinade - 48 to 72 hours in advance: Place the peppercorns, juniper and allspice into a mortar or small plastic bag, or fold up a piece of waxed paper. Crush with the pestle if using the mortar or a rolling pin or hammer if using the bag or paper. Transfer the crushed spices to a small saucepan. Add the bay leaves, cloves, salt, vinegar, wine, and onion slices and bring to a boil. Transfer the marinade to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature. (I prefer a glass or stainless steel bowl. Whatever you use, don't use plastic: the acidic marinade will absorb flavors from plastic.)
• Tying and marinating the meat: Using kitchen string, tie the beef into a neat, compact shape. As soon as the marinade is cool, add the beef to the bowl and roll in the marinade to coat all sides. Cover, refrigerate and marinate for 2 to 3 days, turning the meat once or twice a day. (There is no special timing here for turning the beef in the marinade. You just want to make sure that over the course of the 48 or 72 hours, the meat is turned 3 or 4 times so it marinates evenly.) Heat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Browning the meat: With tongs, lift the meat out of the marinade, scraping any onion slices or spices that stick to the meat back into the marinade, and transfer it to a plate. Reserve the marinade. Pat the meat thoroughly dry all over with paper towels. Heat the butter and oil in a large Dutch oven or other braising pot over medium heat. Add the meat to the pot and brown well on all sides, 20 to 25 minutes total. (You may need 2 implements to turn the meat: try tongs and a large metal spatula. Lift the meat from the pan with the spatula, grab with the tongs, and turn.) Transfer the meat back to the plate. Pour off all the fat from the pan, and deglaze the pan with the reserved marinade, scraping any browned bits to loosen. Bring the marinade to a simmer and add the meat. Cover with parchment paper, pressing down so it nearly touches the meat and the edges of the paper hang over the sides of the pot by about 1-inch. Set the lid firmly in place, and transfer to the lower third of the oven.
• The braise: Braise the meat at a gentle simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Check after about the first 10 minutes to see that the liquid is not simmering too energetically; if it is, lower the oven by 10 to 15 degrees. After 1 1/2 hours, turn the meat over, using the tongs, and metal spatula, and continue braising gently for another 1 1/2 hours, or until fork-tender.
• The finish: With the tongs and metal spatula, transfer the meat to a cutting board with a moat and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Strain the cooking juices into a saucepan and let sit for a minute. Gently tilt the pan and skim off the fat with a large spoon. Whisk in the gingersnap crumbs and sugar, place the pan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Gently boil the sauce for 5 minutes, whisking often, to reduce and thicken it slightly. Lower the heat to low and whisk in the sour cream until smooth. Heat through, but do not let the sauce boil, or the sour cream will curdle. Taste the sauce for salt.
• Serving: Remove the strings from the meat, and pour any accumulated juices into the sauce. Carve the beef into thick slices. If the slices crumble, which they sometimes will, just cut into irregular pieces and arrange on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the beef and serve.
