It's a Bavarian meat pot with beer, nice thick stuff for a cold winter day. Lots of ingredients at first look, but if you've ever cooked anything it's quite simple to make.
800 g beef, cut into cubes of 2 cm
120 g of smoked ham, cut into sticks
120 g onion (roughly one medium sized) cut into rings
Salt, pepper
30 g butter
20 g flour
1/2 l dark beer
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram
1 bay leaf
100 g green onion, chopped
80 g carrot (roughly one) sliced into coins
200 ml stock if needed
1-2 tablespoons mild vinegar
1 pinch sugar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
In a large enough pot, sear the beef cubes in the butter. Add the onion and ham, sear a little more. Add flour and sear a little more.
Add the beer, salt, pepper, marjoram and bay leaf, stir to get the flour off the bottom, close the lid and let it simmer for half an hour.
Add the sliced green onion and carrot. Add stock if the pot looks too dry.
Let it simmer for another 20 minutes.
Add the vinegar and sugar for a slightly sour-sweet taste.
Decorate with parsley.
Serve with cooked potatoes.
