Clean the beef into large pieces and coarsely chop the onion, carrot, and leek.
In a glass or ceramic dish, mix the vinegar, wine, star anise, bay leaves, cloves, and vegetables, then press the meat fully under the liquid.
Keep the dish in the refrigerator for 3 days, turning the meat once a day.
At the end of the third day, remove the meat from the marinade and dry it with paper towels, then brown all sides in a dry pot.
Add the marinade vegetables and half of the liquid, cover, and cook slowly over low heat for 3 hours.
Strain the sauce and boil it a few more minutes to thicken, then slice the meat and serve with the sauce.
💡 Tip: Keep the marinating time at least 48 hours; three days gives the meat deeper aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with German potato dumplings or boiled cabbage.
