Ingredients
  • 5 lbs Beef
  • 1 whole Onion, sliced
  • 3 whole Bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoons Peppercorns, black
  • 1 Vinegar
  • 1 x Water

Directions
  1. 1
    Rub the beef thoroughly with salt and pepper, then place it in a non-reactive dish.
  2. 2
    Add the sliced onion, bay leaves, and black peppercorns around the meat.
  3. 3
    Mix equal parts vinegar and water, then pour over the meat, ensuring it is well coated.

    Cover the dish and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning the meat occasionally to marinate evenly.

  9. 9
    Add more marinade liquid if the pan becomes too dry during roasting.
  10. 10
    Remove the meat to a platter and keep warm. Strain the pan juices into a saucepan.

Note

Use a non-reactive container (glass or ceramic) for marinating to avoid chemical reactions with the vinegar.

For best results, choose a chuck roast or blade roast for this recipe as it has enough connective tissue to become tender during slow cooking.

If you are short on time, you can marinate for at least 4 hours, though 24 hours yields the most tender results.

To make the gravy thicker, you can use cornstarch instead of flour for a clearer sauce.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often improve the next day.

Be sure to remove the bay leaves before serving the meat.
