Recipe - Braised Beef With Brandy And Mustard

1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 One fourth pound Bottom round steak
Trimmed of fat and membrane
One half cup Brandy
2 cup Beef stock
2 tablespoon Coarsegrained mustard
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 Shallots; peeled
Thinly cut or sliced up
4 Sundried tomatoes
(not oilpacked)
Cut into slivers
3 lg Garlic clove(s)
Peeled; thinly cut or sliced up
6 Juniper berries
1 Bay leaf
Black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 325 F.

In a Dutch oven or deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add meat and
brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and drain
off all the pat in the pan. Return the pan to the heat and immediately add
brandy, stirring to scrape up any browned bits in the bottom. Cook until
the brandy is reduced to a syrupy glaze. Stir in stock, mustards, shallots,
sundried tomatoes, garlic, juniper berries, and bay leaf and bring to a
boil. Return the meat to the pan, cover tightly and place in the oven.
Bake, turning the meat every 30 min, for 1 1/22 hours, or until very
tender. Remove bay leaf and season the sauce with pepper. Cut the meat into
thin slices, arrange on a platter, and spoon the sauce over.
