This traditional German sweet and sour Sunday meal is started on Thursday with a reverse marinade. Reverse marinade means brown meat first, then marinade. This seals the juices in and keeps the meat from drying out. We use a flavorful cut of beef, sirloin or chuck, some butchers call these cuts “steaks” but the meat needs a marinade, so we call it beef. Served with steamed red cabbage, boiled young potatoes, cold applesauce and thick gravy made from the marinade.
View original recipe on cookpad.comReverse marinade: melt 2 Tbs butter, brown frozen or fresh meat on all sides, glaze vegetables, add spices and liquid marinade, some water if needed, till meat is submerged, bring to boil, cool.
Marinade three days in cold oven. After 3 days, bake meat in marinade in preheated 350F degree oven for 1 hour.
Remove meat from marinade, rest 15 minutes. Make gravy, stir Tbs cornstarch in cup of cold water till dissolved. Bring marinade to boil, remove rosemary twig, add Tbs butter, 3 Tbs all-purpose flour, tsp ginger powder, stir till brown. Add cornstarch slowly till gravy is just right. Slice meat thin across the grain, and on the bias, (under a 45 degree angle), pour gravy over, serve with steamed young potatoes, steamed red cabbage with apple and sweet onion, and cold applesauce. Enjoy.
