Ingredients

  • 2 Kg Tafelspitz cut
  • 500 Gr Beef bone
  • 3 Carrots
  • 1 Celery
  • 1 Onion with skin
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 1 Tl Peppercorns

Instructions

  • Wash the beef bones and bring to the boil in a large pot with about 5 liters of cold water on the stove
  • Meanwhile, wash the beef, pat dry and remove the tendons and skins.
  • Then add the meat to the gently simmering pot together with the bay leaves, and peppercorns and let the whole thing simmer for about 2 1/2 hours on a low heat - skimming off the foam from time to time.
  • Then halve the onions (including the skin) and roast the cut edges in a pan without fat.
    Then add the roughly chopped vegetables to the pot together with the onions and continue to cook for about an hour.
  • When the meat is really tender, take it out and use a sieve to separate the soup from the vegetables.
  • Then put the meat back into the soup, season with salt and pepper and let it rest for a while.
  • To serve, cut the boiled fillet into slices and arrange on preheated plates. Add some of the strong beef broth as a sauce and sprinkle with chives, horseradish, roast potatoes, minced apples and  creamed spinach.
