For some time we have a favorite dish that is super easy to prepare and tastes very delicious. A great Sunday lunch, made with very little effort and really delicious: roast beef with a lot of sauce.
You can prepare it well in the evening before, so you have less work on Sunday.
ingredients
- 700 g - 1000 g roast beef
- some flour for dusting
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- 250 g - 300 g cream
- 200 g - 300 g meat broth
- 2 onions (to taste 2 garlic cloves)
- 2-3 carrots
- 60 ml balsamic vinegar (dark)
- Salt and pepper (from the mill)
preparation
- First, the onions are peeled and cut into rings, the carrots are washed and cut into larger pieces.
- Then the meat is prepared: wash it, dry it and sprinkle it on a board or plate with some flour all around. I used a small sieve.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan and sauté the roast beef from all sides. Now the balsamic vinegar is poured on and everything is left to simmer until it evaporates.
- Now pepper the meat and salt. I always like to have everything freshly ground from the mill.
- Then broth and cream are added. With the lid closed and reduced heat, roast the beef for about 3 hours. After that it is super delicate and hmm ... very tasty!
- After cooking, take the roast out, put it on a plate or something similar, pour the sauce through a sieve and possibly boil it down a bit so that it is a bit thick. However, that depends on how you like it. I prefer a bit more liquid sauce and never add a sauce thickener, which of course you can do.
- The sauce may be seasoned with salt and pepper.
Tips:
If you want, you can also add 2-3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped, to the onions and the carrots and fry.
The onions and carrots I give extra to eat, not all family members like the vegetables, I love it! You can of course also puree the vegetables with the sauce, so you get a thicker gravy.
In addition there are dumplings for one part of the family and mashed potatoes for the other part! Oh yes, and of course red cabbage with apple - cooked well for a long time and cucumber salad.
The sauce really tastes excellent and - do not worry - not even vinegar!
