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.
