Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC/325ºF.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Cut the carrots and celery stalks into large pieces (about 2-3 cm thick). Finely chop the onion and garlic. Leave the meat whole.
  3. Heat the oil in a thick-base roasting pan over medium heat. Brown the meat thoroughly on each side until golden, 7-8 min total. Take the meat out and set aside.
  4. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté 3-4 min until translucent. Add the other vegetables and cook 2-3 min, then deglaze with the wine 1 min. Add the cornstarch and the herbs, then pour in the beer and the sauce demi-glace. Bring to a boil, then put the meat back into the pan. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cover then cook in the middle of the oven until the meat is very tender (about 2 h 30 min per kilo of meat).
  6. Serve the with the cooking juices.
