What is "zoervleis"

Zoervleis or Zoervleisj ( Limburgian for sour meat, in ) is a regional meat dish from the Province of Limburg, a region split between the Netherlands and Belgium.

Zoervleis is similar to carbonade flamande and hachee and Germans might know it as Sauerbraten in some local variations. The sour refers to a process of marinading the meat, generally horse meat, in vinegar. However, despite its name the dish is sweet due the vinegar being compensated for with apple syrup and Dutch gingerbread {ontbijtkoek}.

The dish is often accompanied by French fries.
