Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 500 g beef from the rump
• 3 onions, red
• some oil
• some vegetable stock or beef stock
• 150 g ham, cooked
• 200 g leek
• 200 g mushrooms
• 200 g cream
• 2 tbsp sherry or 1 shot of white wine
• Salt
• Black pepper, freshly ground
• 100 g cheese (Emmental, Gruyère, etc.), grated

Instructions

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

Cut the beef rump into thin strips across the grain. Chop the peeled onions. Heat the oil in a lidded ovenproof pan (or pot) and sear the meat vigorously. Reduce the heat, add the onions, sauté briefly, and pour in some of the stock. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. If the meat isn’t tender yet, sauté a little longer. In the meantime, cut the cooked ham into strips, the trimmed leek into thin rings, and the mushrooms into slices. Add to the meat and sauté for about 10 minutes. Then pour in the cream and season the strips with sherry or white wine, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake briefly in a preheated oven at 200°C until the cheese melts. Tip: If you don’t have an ovenproof pan, transfer the strips to a casserole dish before baking.
