AUSTRIAN TAFELSPITZ WITH APPLE-HORSERADISH SAUCE (EMPEROR'S BOILED BEEF)

Steps:

• Rinse beef bones and place in a large pot, cover with water, add salt to taste, and bring to a boil. Add beef roast and bring back to a boil, making sure roast is covered by water. Skim frothy liquid several times if necessary. Reduce heat and let simmer for 1 hour.
• Stir onions, carrots, celery, leek, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, and more salt to soup. Bring to a boil, skimming off froth on top as necessary.
• Cover and continue to simmer until beef can be easily pierced with a sharp knife point, about 2 hours.
• During the last half hour of cook time, prepare apple-horseradish sauce. Place apples in a small saucepan and add sugar and vinegar. Cook over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool, about 5 minutes. Stir in horseradish and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove meat to a heated serving platter. Strain stock through a fine sieve and add nutmeg and salt to taste. Reserve stock. Toss vegetables and bones. Slice meat across the grain and pour a little stock over it; garnish with chives.

TAFELSPITZ MIT MEERETTICHSAUCE

Steps:

• 1,5 L Wasser mit der Zwiebel, Nelken, Pfefferkörnern, Lorbeerblatt, Salz und Suppengrün zum Kochen bringen. Tafelspitz (s. Text unter Zutaten) in das Wasser geben und auf kleinste Stufe stellen. Das Fleisch darf nicht kochen, weil es sonst zäh wird, sondern nur 90 Minuten in der Brühe ziehen. Inzwischen Salzkartoffeln und Bohnen kochen. Butter auslassen und Bohnen darin schwenken. Mit Pfeffer, Salz und frischem Basilikum würzen. Meerrettich schälen und sofort mit 1 TL Zitronensaft abreiben, damit er nicht braun wird. Dann den Meerrettich fein reiben und mit 1 TL Milch verrühren, damit er weiß bleibt. In einem Topf Margarine auslassen, Mehl zufügen und kräftig rühren. Mit Brühe ablöschen und kräftig weiterrühren bis eine sämige Mehlschwitze entsteht. Mit Milch und Sahne auffüllen und den Meerrettich zufügen. Die Mehlschwitze darf jetzt nicht mehr kochen. Mit Zucker, 1 TL Zitronensaft und Salz würzen. Den Tafelspitz aus der Brühe nehmen und in Scheiben schneiden. Dazu Bohnen, Salzkartoffeln und Meerrettichsauce reichen.
