Pfefferpotthast

Summary

Cut the beef into goulash-sized pieces, pound and fry in the clarified butter (or other fat to taste). Gradually add the onion cubes and the vegetables and fry them. When everything is sufficiently seared, deglaze with the beer and fill up with broth.
Grate the pumpernickel fine (it`s easy to do with your hands in a large bowl) and add.
Depending on how strongly the broth is seasoned, season with salt and pepper. Crack juniper berries by tapping them. Add the cranberries, bay leaves and juniper berries.
This amount then has to stew slowly for 90 to 120 minutes. This is best done in the oven at around 150 ° C.
Before serving, season to taste and, if necessary, add seasoning.
Cut the cucumber into fans or slices. Arrange the meat on a plate with a cucumber fan and garnish with crushed pepper.
Boiled potatoes are best served as a side dish.
A quick, low budget version: replace beef with minced beef.
For lazy people there are also diced onions and vegetables as frozen food and the meat is already cut into slices by the butcher and he should then (please) run them through the steaker. Don`t make a mess and go really fast. Then all you have to do is cut the meat into small pieces.
Tip:
Put inedible spices such as juniper berries, star anise etc. in a tea bag in the food, then they can be easily removed after cooking and you can enjoy undisturbed.
