preparation

Meat:

  1. Clean the meat, parry and dry well with kitchen paper.
  2. In a large saucepan fry the meat in the butter lard around it.
  3. Add so much water until the meat is barely covered, so I had about 3 L of water.
  4. Once the whole thing now boil, then let lid on it and even at the lowest level.
  5. The water should not boil or boil, but stay just below the boiling point about 90-95 ° C. With a meat thermometer you can pretty much determine it.
  6. Clean the soup greens, clean them and chop them roughly.
  7. Peel 2 onions and dice roughly.
  8. Cut 1 onion with the bowl in the middle and roast on a correspondingly large piece of aluminum foil without adding fat on the stove. Be careful, it is very fast.
  9. Prepare the spices.
  10. After approx. 1 ¼ hours, add the vegetables and spices (parsley stalks with a few leaves) and let them steep for another hour.
  11. The remaining vegetables (200 g), which is served on plates, comes about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking in the broth. The vegetables then have a bit more bite.

horseradish sauce:

  1. Uncork the slices of toast and cut into small cubes.
  2. Peel the horseradish and finely grate. I did that with my food processor under full power of the hood. But there had still been one or the other happy tears.
  3. Heat the base with the cream in a large saucepan and bring to a boil for about 15 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the toast cubes and stir until they have dissolved. The sauce gets through the toast bread cubes a nice bond.
  5. Add the horseradish to the sauce one tablespoon at a time and cook for about 10 minutes. The amount of horseradish can each decide for themselves, we love it vigorously.
  6. Season with white pepper, salt and lemon juice to taste, remove from the heat and alloy with the egg yolk.
  7. Get the meat from the broth.
  8. Fish out the corresponding piece of vegetables.
  9. Cut the boiled beef against the fiber and serve with boiled potatoes, horseradish sauce and some pieces of vegetables.

P.S. Pass the broth / boiled beef from the boiled beef through a sieve. I have frozen these in about 500 ml containers for sauce or risotto bases.
