1 fillet or whole loin bear (6 to 7 pounds)
2-3 tablespoon vegetable oil
The Marinade
4 medium onions, chopped
4 carrots, chopped
3/4 cup vinegar
2 teaspoon salt
4 cups dry white wine
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
3 bay leaves
1-1/2 teaspoon tarragon
3 celery ribs with leaves on
Sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoon chopped capers
2 teaspoon chopped scallions
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoon flour
1 clove, crushed
Cook all marinade ingredients in a sauce pan for 5 minutes. Let cool and poor the marinade over the meat. Place in nonmetallic container. Keep in a cool place, covered 3 – 4 days turning the meat over daily.
When ready to cook, remove the meat and wipe dry. Save the marinade. Cut the fillet into 3/4-inch pieces or into chops.
Brown the meat in the oil – several pieces at a time. To prepare the sauce, pound the garlic, capers, scallions, parsley, mushrooms, salt and pepper together. When mixed to a paste, strain two cups of the reserved marinade into it and blend.
Now melt the butter in the skillet, stir in the flour and cook slowly a few minutes to brown lightly. Add the cloves and stir in the marinade sauce. Turn off the heat. Return to the heat and stir until thickened, then add the browned steaks or chops, and slowly simmer for 6 to 8 minutes.
