BOEUF à LA MODE RECIPE, BAVARIAN-STYLE ROAST BEEF PREPARATION

Steps:

• Wash, peel and chop the root vegetables and cut the leek into leaves. Peel and prepare the garlic and onions. Boil the chopped vegetables, herbs and aromatics with the garlic in a large pot with red wine, water and red wine vinegar.
• Wash the braised beef and pat dry, then place in the cool stain. Let the meat mature in the fridge for 2-4 days, turning twice a day.
• Remove the beef from the stain and drain.
• Pass the vegetables through a sieve and prepare the staining liquid and vegetables for the preparation of the sauce.
• Preheat oven to 180°C at top and bottom heat. Fry the prepared meat on all sides in a large pan with clarified butter at high heat and let it take on its colour. Remove the fried meat from the pot.
• Pour the drained vegetables from the stain into the hot pot and fry over high heat. Stir well the whole time with a spatula, the vegetables may take on a light brown colour. Add the tomato paste to the roasted vegetables.
• Brown the roasted vegetables with the tomato puree at high heat for about five minutes. The colour changes from red to brown-red. Using a spatula, scrape the roasting substances off the bottom of the pot to produce the desired roasting substances for the taste and colour of the sauce.
• Deglaze the roast with the stain, add the veal stock and add the mixed starch to the sauce. You can later reduce the sauce to the desired consistency. Place the meat in the sauce. Close the pot with a lid, roast in the oven with a lid for 1.5-2 hours until soft
• Check cooking degree of meat by pricking with a meat fork. If the meat gives slightly after the roast beef is ready. Remove the meat from the sauce and prepare extra.
• Drain the sauce through a fine sieve. I use a hair sieve. You could also use a passing cloth, which you boil in water beforehand.
• Add salt, pepper, sugar, butter and cognac to the sauce on the stove to the desired thickness and mix well.
• Cut the meat into slices. I like to prepare the roast one day earlier, cut the cooled meat into even slices. Heat the slices of meat in the sauce before serving. You can try the meat first. If it's not soft enough, simply simmer in the sauce for a few minutes.
• Prepare the side dishes: Cook the spaetzle and toss it in butter, prepare the vegetables and put them on the plate.
• Heat the braised beef in the sauce, arrange the slices of meat on warm plates. Serve the prepared spaetzle and vegetables. Mix the sauce, add and serve. Enjoy your meal!
