Beef Kalitiran in Classic Brown Sauce

Ingredients:
1 whole piece of beef chuck (kalitiran), approx. 1.2 kg
1/4 c dark rum or brandy
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c olive oil or corn oil
1/4 c minced garlic
1 c chopped onions
1/2 c chopped tomatoes
black pepper to taste
1 pc bay leaf (laurel)
4 c water
Brown sauce:
1/4 c butter 3/4 c thinly sliced canned button mushrooms 1/4 c all-purpose flour 2 c strained cooking liquid salt and pepper to taste
Side dish:
1/2 kg potatoes
1/4 c softened butter
2 tbsp chopped spring onions
salt and pepper to taste
Procedure:
Marinade the beef in soy sauce and rum for an hour. Drain for at least 15 minutes and reserve the marinade for later use.
Heat up the oil in a stockpot. Add the beef, and brown on both sides. Remove the meat and set aside. Using the same pan, sauté the garlic, onions and tomatoes until the vegetables turn limp. Pour in the reserved marinade, the pepper, bay leaf, and water. Allow to boil, scraping the bottom of the pan from time to time to loosen brown bits.
Transfer the meat and the liquid to a pressure cooker. Allow to cook for 20 minutes. Start timing as soon as the cooker starts to make noise. Allow the pressure cooker to cool down before opening. Remove the meat and slice into serving portions. Strain the liquid and set aside two cups for the gravy.
If a pressure cooker is not available, use a large, heavy stockpot and allow to simmer for at least an hour or until tender. Add more water as necessary, half a cup at a time, making sure that the meat is always covered with liquid.
To prepare the gravy, melt the butter over low heat in a thick saucepan. Add the mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes until glossy. Stir in the flour. Pour in the strained liquid. Continue stirring until slightly thick.
To prepare the side dish, scrub the potatoes well. Cut into large chunks, leaving the skin on, for better appearance. Cook in slightly salted boiling water until tender. Drain. Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. While the potatoes are hot, add the butter. Toss to blend and season with salt and pepper.
