Preparation

Rinse the beef and dry in kitchen paper.

Put the oil in a shallow pan and when it has heated, add the beef and turn until it has coloured.

Add the onions and after 2-3 minutes add the tomato paste.

Stir and add the vinegar, grape syrup, garlic and juniper berries.

After a few minutes add salt, pepper, the fresh tomatoes and enough boiling water to cover the meat.

Bring to the boil, cover the pan and leave to simmer for 1 – 1½ hours, depending on how tender the beef is.

When the beef has become very tender, add the quince and continue simmering for 15 minutes – You may need to add some water.

Add the plums and simmer for another 5 minutes until there is a thick brown sauce.
