  • 80 g margarine or Palmin

  • 4 onions, diced
  • 4 large cucumbers, pickles, finely diced

  • Vinegar

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Boiled beef or beef heart – we have been doing this in our family for as long as I can remember

Cut the beef into pieces and cook in boiling water with the bay leaf. Take at least 1 liter of the freshly cooked broth and set aside – if you’re a sauce fan, use a little more. Melt the fat and sauté the flour in it – when it’s golden yellow, add the onions. Sauté everything until the flour is medium brown. Then deglaze with the broth and simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. Depending on your desired consistency, you can adjust the sauce at this point – either with a little broth or, if necessary, thicken it with Mondamin. Season the sauce to sweet and sour with vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar. Finally, add the finely diced cucumbers and let the dish simmer for at least another 15 minutes. We serve it with boiled potatoes and a salad.
