Pašticada is a braised beef dish cooked in a fragrant sweet and sour sauce, popular in Croatia. It is often called Dalmatinska pašticada because it originates in Dalmatia, where it is served at festivities and gatherings. The meal requires long and meticulous preparation.[1][2] The meat, usually a whole eye of round, is pierced and stuffed with garlic, cloves, carrot, celery and bacon, and marinated in wine vinegar overnight. It is then seared and simmered with onions, parsley root, prunes, wine, broth or stock and sweet prošek wine for several hours. The meat is cut into thick slices and additionally cooked in the resulting sauce.

Pašticada is usually served with njoke or homemade pasta.
