Equipment

  • 1 roasting pan for stove and oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 kg beef shoulder from certified animal husbandry
  • 2 tbsp clarified butter
  • 3 onions
  • 1 carrot
  • 1/4 celery
  • 1/2 leek
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 tomatos
  • 2 bottles dry red wine tip: alcohol free
  • 3 bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • Season the beef shoulder with salt and sear on all sides in a tablespoon of clarified butter.
  • Remove the meat from the roasting pan and sauté the cleaned soup vegetables.
  • Add the tomato paste and peeled, crushed tomatoes and sauté briefly.
  • Deglaze with red wine and bring to a boil.
  • Place the meat and bay leaves in the stock and cook at 180 °C (356 °F) for about 1 ½ hours in the oven. Then turn the temperature down to 110 °C (230 °F) and braise for another three hours.
  • Check the consistency of the meat with a meat fork or a sharp knife. You should feel almost no resistance when piercing the meat. If you are not satisfied with the result, simply continue braising for another hour.
