Instructions:

This simple sauce is mainly used for short roasted meat dishes such as cutlets, filet tips, roasted liver, etc., but also as a basis for all roasts and ragouts of beef, lamb or game. The prerequisite for this is that a good stock or soup is available for infusing, so that the sauce also becomes nice and strong.

For this, slowly fry plenty of onions in oil until golden. Add paradeisermark and roast everything well. Extinguish with a little red wine or beer and, if possible, top up with unsalted soup (stock) or water. A good sauce needs a lot of time. It is best to let it simmer gently for 2-3 hours.

Refrain from pureeing or blending the sauce, as this will only make it lighter and sweeter. Use only enough tomato paste for the simple sauce mixture so that the sauce is not red at the end.
