Also, the most delicious one. Or so I’m told. (I never had to try another one.)
This dish is one of the most popular meats on Our Table. Which is surprising, since it’s a Pesach recipe. So many have told me that this is how they cook their flanken all year round, never mind Pesach.
What I love is how it uses simple ingredients yet has amazing results.
Do not rush this recipe. What makes it special is the slow cook method.
If you prefer, you can place it in the oven at 200 degrees for about 8 hours (a great way to utilize your oven while you sleep).
Falling Off the Bone Flanken
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 onions peeled, sliced into round
- 4 strips flanken
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder optional
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp potato starch dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (no, this is not a typo; cooking at a low temperature is important). Arrange onions in one layer in a 9 x 13- inch pan. Top with flanken. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine orange juice, sugar, dissolved potato starch, salt, wine, oil, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Pour sauce over meat. Cover pan with two layers of heavy duty foil. Make sure it is sealed very well. Bake for 41⁄2 hours.
- If you prefer, you can place it in the oven at 200 degrees for about 8 hours (great way to utilize your oven while you sleep).
- This meat can be prepared in advance and rewarmed. This works for me. When the meat is cool, the fat congeals and can be removed easily.
