General Information

Ingredients

• 2 kg beef rump roast
• 150ml of white vinegar
• 150ml of red wine
• 500ml of beef broth
• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 bay leaves
• 10 black peppercorns
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 200g light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the vinegar, red wine, beef broth, onions, carrots, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil.

2. Place the beef rump roast in the boiling mixture and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer the beef for 1-2 hours or until it is fork tender.

3. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. Reserve the cooking liquid.

4. In a separate pot, melt the butter and add the light brown sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until they are combined to make a slurry.

6. Slowly add the slurry and the reserved cooking liquid to the pot with the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk the mixture over medium heat until it thickens and comes to a low boil.

7. Remove the mixture from the heat and let cool slightly.

8. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef rump roast and sear for several minutes on each side, or until a nice char has formed.

9. Transfer the beef to a cutting board to rest and slice into thin strips.

10. Pour the sauce over the sliced beef in the skillet and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

11. Serve the beef with mashed potatoes or noodles, and a fresh, green salad. Enjoy!
