Directions
Season both sides of the beef with salt, pepper and flour. Sear in a pan with butter and set aside.
- Slice the onion in thin half rings and add to the same pan. Fry down for 5-10 minutes.
- Add the flour, tomato paste, red wine vinegar, bay leaves, cloves, beef stock and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a light simmer and add the beef back, cover and let simmer for at least 3-4 hours or until it falls apart (the longer the better). When the beef is almost done, stir the ontbijtkoek through it. This will make the sauce thick.

Mash
Boil the potatoes in salted cold water until fork tender.
- Strain and push (when still hot) through a fine sieve into the same pan.

Red cabbage
- Bring equal parts water and vinegar, to a boil with some sugar and salt.
- Finely slice the red cabbage in strips and add to a mason jar. Pour over the liquid, add a bay leaf, chili flakes or any other spices. Close and let marinated for as long as possible
