Peel or clean, wash and chop the soup vegetables. Peel and slice the onion. Put vinegar, red wine and 1/8 litre water in a pot. Add vegetables, 1 bay leaf and four juniper berries and bring to the boil once.
Let it cool down. Dab beef with kitchen paper and cut into cubes. Add to the vinegar-red wine stock and leave to stand for 1-2 days. Drain meat and vegetables and let them drain well (catch the stock).
Fry all around in hot clarified butter. Add tomato paste and flour and stir-fry. Pour on marinade. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Put remaining spices and herbs into a tea filter bag and tie up with kitchen string.
Add the spice bag to the meat and cook for 30-35 minutes. Then take it out. Cut the honey cake into cubes and add to the meat. Cook for about 10 minutes. Season meat with salt and pepper if necessary.
Schupfnudeln taste good with it.
