    1/2 cup brandy
    2 cup defatted beef stock
    2 tbsp coarse-grained mustard
    2 tbsp provence-style or dijon mustard

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 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 fat 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, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, juniper berries and
    bay leaf and bring to a boil. Return meat to the pan, cover tightly and
    place in the oven. Bake, turning the meat every 30 minutes, for 1 1/2 to 2
    hours, or until very tender. Remove bay leaf and season the sauce with
    pepper. Cut the meat into thin slices, arrange on platter and spoon the
    sauce over.
