recipe..which was my grandmother's, which was her mom's and her mom's , etc...

Our sour beef is sweet and not at all sour
or pickled tasting.

-
- 4-6 lb. beef rump or round roast
2 c. vinegar
2 c.
water
1 lg. onion, sliced
3 tbsp. pickling spice
Salt and
pepper
3 tbsp. flour
1 c. water
1 tbsp.
sugar
Place roast in large bowl. Heat vinegar,
water, onion, and pickling spices to boiling and pour over meat. If
marinade does not cover meat, add more vinegar/water. When cool,
refrigerate for 5 days, turning roast each day.
Remove roast from marinade, saving marinade. Salt and pepper and
place roast in a roasting pan in a 500 degree oven for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees. After 1 hour, pour marinade over meat
and continue baking until tender.
Remove meat from pan and add flour and water mixed until smooth,
stirring constantly, over medium heat. Cook until slightly thickened
and strain into another pan. Taste for seasoning, add sugar. If a
sweeter gravy is desired, crumble a few gingersnaps into gravy,
optional but not necessary. Slice meat and serve with potato
dumplings and gravy.
POTATO DUMPLINGS:
- 6 potatoes, cooked until tender
6 potatoes, peeled and
grated finely
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. cream of wheat
1/2
tsp. nutmeg
2 tbsp. parsley, minced
2 c. well buttered
croutons
Salt and pepper
Flour
Peel cooked potatoes and put through food
mill and mash thoroughly. Put grated potatoes in cloth bag and
squeeze out moisture. Mix both potatoes, add eggs, cream of wheat,
nutmeg, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Lightly mix in croutons.
With floured hands shape into balls about 1 1/2 inch in diameter.
It's wise to cook two dumplings in a small pan of water for 15
minutes before proceeding further. Some potatoes require the
additional small amount of flour or cornstarch to prevent them from
falling apart. Make whatever corrections are necessary and shape
remaining mix into balls. Cook gently for 15 minutes or until
dumplings rise. Serve with sour beef and
gravy.
