Since I can not get anything out of bouillon cubes and Co, I usually cook my own broths and funds in stock. Today it was once again a beef broth. I then process the meat that I need for it. In this case, according to the weather, to a beef salad.
ingredients
For the broth:
- 1 kg of roast beef (in this case, from the leg)
- 1 bunch of soup vegetables finely diced
- 2 - 3 peeled and halved onions
- 3 - 4 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon peppercorns
- some grated nutmeg
- salt
- water
For the meat salad:
- cut the cooked meat into fine cubes
- Finely chop 4-5 sour cucumbers
- 2 - 3 small onions finely diced
- 3 - 4 finely diced eggs
- cut some chives into fine rolls
For the dressing:
- 1 cup of sour cream or sour cream
- 200 ml of cream
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 tbsp oil
- Salt pepper
- maybe some cucumber soup (if the dressing is too thick)
preparation
- I fry the meat from all sides, then add the halved onions and let them take some color.
- Then I put in the soup vegetables and pour with water that the meat is well covered.
- Add the bay leaves and the remaining spices, bring to a boil and then simmer for about 2 hours.
- When the meat is cooked, take it out and let it cool.
- I then boil the broth again and fill it with clean glasses or bottles.
- To make sure that the glasses pull vacuum, I put them again for half an hour in the previously heated to 200 degrees oven. I turn off the stove, the rest heat is enough.
- I then cut the slightly chilled meat into cubes and add the ingredients.
- Then just combine the dressing from the listed ingredients, pour over and mix well. The beef salad tastes best if you let it pass through a bit.
So you have with relatively little effort a supply of home-cooked meat broth and a delicious meat salad, to which I would like to serve only a few fried potatoes.
By the way, the salad recipe is versatile. So you can all sorts of meat from which one has leftovers, quickly and tasty continue to use. I even tried it with leftover grilled meat. Was super delicious and had a very special touch.
Have fun trying.
