- Mix Redwine and Vinegar.
- Clean the celeriac,carot, leek wash it, chop or slice it. Peel the onions and cut it half. Put the herbs and spices together with the vegetables into the vinegar/wine mix.
- Put the beef in the marinade fully covered and let it soak for 2-3 days on a cool place in the kitchen.
- At the Prep-Day: Take the beef out of the marinade, dry and salt it all around. Afterwards you roast it gently in the lard til it builds up a nice crust.Then you put a bit of marinade into it. Then bit by bit the rest of the marinade and the beefstock in.Let it now stew for 45 min. with a lid covered.
- Turn the beef, put the chopped pumpernickel/ginerbread into the beefpot and let it gently, mild stew for another 30 min. Don´t forget to pour over the beef with the marinade/stock from the pot.
