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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. Reserve the cooking liquid.
-
In a separate pot, melt the butter and add the light brown sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
-
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until they are combined to make a slurry.
-
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.
-
Remove the mixture from the heat and let cool slightly.
-
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.
-
Transfer the beef to a cutting board to rest and slice into thin strips.
-
Pour the sauce over the sliced beef in the skillet and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
-
Serve the beef with mashed potatoes or noodles, and a fresh, green salad. Enjoy!
