Czech beef with creamy root vegetable sauce.
Ingredients
- 700 g beef sirloin
- Carrot and celeriac
- Onion
- Cream
- Bread dumplings
- Cranberry
How to make it
- Braise beef with root vegetables until tender. Prepare this first and keep the heat moderate; rushing the first stage usually gives uneven texture later.
- Blend vegetables with broth and cream. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
- Slice beef and warm in sauce. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
- Serve with dumplings and cranberry. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
