Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 kilos beef, like a roast or any large pieces
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar, chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 10 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • olive oil, as needed

Instructions
 

  • Place beef, onions, vinegar, water, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, sugar, cloves, and bay leaves in a large pot. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days, turning meat daily. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels, reserving marinade.
  • Season flour to taste with salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Sprinkle flour mixture over beef. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat; brown beef on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the beef to a slow cooker.
  • Pour the reserved marinade over the beef and cook on Low setting for 6-8 hours. When beef is fork tender, remove from the slow cooker to a plate and slice.
  • Strain the liquid from the slow cooker and make a gravy by heating that in a small pot and adding cornstarch.
  • Serve with potatoes or potato dumplings.

Notes

Beef would cost about 300 Baht/1 1/2 kilos, for 6 servings, this is about $1.47 per serving. Not bad for a once in a while meal.
