Instructions

  1. Chop the onions and carrots. Place them in a saucepan with the beef, peppercorns, juniper berries, salt, and bay leaves. Pour in roughly enough vinegar to completely cover the meat. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days.
  2. Remove the beef from the marinade. Transfer the beef to an ovenproof saucepan with a lid (or baking dish covered with aluminum foil), along with 1/4 liter of the marinade and the vegetables.
  3. Cook in the oven at 200°C / 392°F (using top, bottom, or convection setting) for 2 to 2.5 hours until the beef is tender. Remove the beef. Strain the remaining marinade and thicken it with sauce thickener.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
