Hi, yes, I brown the meat well , then take it out and caramelise some onions well, deglazing the pan a couple of times with a little red wine or beer , I add a bit of butter and add flour to make a paste stir it until it’s Cheshunt brown. Then I whisk in some dark stock and a bit of beer, and also some Logan berries or redcurrant jelly, some appropriate herbs such as thyme and bay etc , I make it a runny sauce so that it doesn’t dry out and over thicken during the cooking. Once done I put the joints back in And cover them well with sauce , put the lid on and into the oven at about 150 deg c for 2-3 hrs . If the sauce is too runny or dry you can take the meat out at the end and reduce that sauce or add a bit more stock and beer .Looks good Olaf. So are you browning the meat, then removing it to make the sauce? Then adding back in?
How long are you cooking in sauce for?
Kindest regards, Olaf
