German Stewed Beef Recipe from Grandma

Wash the vegetables consisting of carrots, celery, parsley roots and leek.

Peel and chop the root vegetables and cut the leek into leaves.

Peel the garlic and the onions and make available.

Boil the prepared vegetables, herbs, aromatics and garlic in a large pot with red wine, water and balsamic vinegar.

Clean the braised meat from the butcher and let it clean.

Wash and dry the meat and place in the cool stain.

Let the meat mature in the fridge for 2-4 days, turning twice a day.

Remove the meat from the stain and drain.

Strain the vegetables and prepare the stain and vegetables for the sauce.

Preheat the oven to 180°C at top and bottom heat.

Fry the beef on all sides in a high pot with clarified butter over a high heat and let it take on its colour.

Then remove the meat from the pot.

Put the vegetables in the pot and sauté over high heat.

After about 5 minutes add the tomato paste.

Brown the roasted vegetables for another 5 minutes at high heat with the tomato paste.

The colour changes from red to brown-red.

Using a spatula, scrape off the roasted ingredients from the bottom of the pot.

Deglaze the roasted vegetables with the stain, add the veal stock and add the mixed starch to the sauce.

Later boil the sauce to the desired consistency.

Place the roasted meat in the sauce.

Now you could add fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme.

Let the roast stew in the oven with lid for 1.5-2 hours until soft.

Check the cooking degree of the meat by piercing it with a meat fork.

If the meat yields slightly, the roast is ready.

Remove the meat from the sauce and prepare extra.

Pass the sauce through a fine sieve, i.e. pour through a sieve.

I use a hair sieve.

You could also use a passing cloth, which you boil in water beforehand.

Add salt, pepper, sugar, butter and balsamic vinegar to the sauce on the stove to the desired thickness and mix well.

Cut the braised meat open.

I always prepare the roast one day earlier and cut the cooled meat into even slices.

I heat the meat slices in the sauce before serving.

If the meat is not yet soft enough, you can cook it in the sauce cut into slices.

Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente, drain, toss in butter and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

You can use ribbon noodles, tagliatelle or spiral noodles.

Prepare the courgette vegetables:

Cut the courgettes into slices with seeds or into strips or cubes without seeds.

Then sauté in a pan with oil, then refine with butter at reduced heat.

Season the zucchini vegetables with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

I also added mushrooms to the vegetables and seasoned the vegetables with a little thyme.

Heat the meat in the sauce and arrange on warm plates.

Serve stewed meat with pasta and vegetables and pour the sauce over the meat.

Enjoy your meal!
