with raisins and gingerbread
Delicious traditional Dutch slow-braised beef!
Ingredients :
1 kg of stewing steak
salt and freshly ground pepper
75 g of butter
4 small onions cut into small rings
200 ml of cider vinegar
6 slices of gingerbread cut in pieces
100 g of raisins
50 g of apple syrup
4 cloves
4 bay leaves
Preparation
Rub salt and pepper into the stewing steak. Heat up the butter in the pressure
cooker and fry the stewing steak in the butter, in portions, until it has browned
on both sides. Fry the onions in the cooking fat until golden brown.
Add 600 ml of water to the cooking fat and, whilst stirring, dissolve the apple
syrup into the mixture. Add the cider vinegar, gingerbread, raisins, cloves
and bay leaves, grind a little pepper over the top and place the stewing steak
in the liquid. Close the pressure cooker and turn the pan to pressure setting 2.
Allow the meat to cook for 20 minutes on a medium high heat. Following
the instructions, depressurise and open the pan. Remove the meat from the pan
and stir the gravy until smooth.
Tip
Delicious when served with boiled potatoes and wine sauerkraut.
