Tauberschwarz
Tauberschwarz is a traditional German dish primarily found in the Bavaria region. The name translates literally to "dove black," though it does not typically contain dove meat. Instead, it refers to a dark, rich stew made from beef, often beef shank or brisket, slow-cooked with ingredients that impart a deep color. Common components include onions, red wine, beef broth, and sometimes juniper berries, cloves, and bay leaves. The slow cooking process breaks down the connective tissues in the beef, resulting in a tender and flavorful meat that falls apart easily.
The preparation of Tauberschwarz usually involves searing the beef to develop a rich crust, then sautéing onions
