Instructions

1. 1.

   Cut the turkey ham into coarse strips. Prick the beef roast deeply with a long, sharp knife on both sides and insert the ham strips.

2. 2.

   Boil the grape juice with vinegar and water once, then let it cool. Place the meat with bay leaves, juniper berries, and thyme in a tight container and pour the liquid over it. Cover and refrigerate for 2 days.

3. 3.

   On the day of preparation, peel and finely dice the onions, celery root, and carrots.

4. 4.

   Remove the meat from the marinate and pat dry. Rub the meat with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a roasting pan and brown the meat all around.

5. 5.

   Add the prepared vegetables and orange slices, pour in half the marinade and add the spices. Roast in a preheated oven at 180 °C (convection: 160 °C; gas: level 2–3) for about 90 minutes, basting frequently with the pan juices and remaining marinade.

6. 6.

   Take the meat out of the roasting pan and keep warm. Dissolve the pan drippings in 100–150 ml water, strain through a sieve into a pot. Add the cream, bring to a quick boil, season with salt and pepper. Serve with the roast.
