Directions:
Rub the roast with salt and pepper and place in a non-metal bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine wine, vinegar and 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Stir in garlic, onion, bay leaves, peppercorns, sugar and cloves and pour the marinade over the beef. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours or more (some recipes suggest up to 3 days). Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry. Dredge in approximately 1 cup flour. Heat bacon grease in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown roast in drippings on all sides. Pour in 1/2 the marinade. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until tender, at least 3 hours. Remove meat to serving platter. Increase heat to medium-high. Mix 2 T. flour with 2 T. water and add to pan, stirring until gravy thickens. Stir in sour cream. Pour sauce over sliced meat.
