Czech specialty, extremely tasty

Wash the meat, dry it, and slice it across the grain. Brown it on both sides in oil over medium heat, then remove it from the pan and set aside. Finely chop the onion and fry it in the pan juices. Chop the vegetables and add them. When the vegetables are nicely roasted, add the meat back in. Add the peppercorns, allspice, bay leaf, sugar, salt, and white wine. Add enough water to just cover everything. Simmer until the meat is tender. Then remove the meat and puree everything in the pan with a hand blender. Mix the cream with the flour and mustard and gradually add it to the boiling sauce until the desired consistency is reached. Season to taste with salt and lemon juice. Return the meat to the pan and cook for a few more minutes. You can serve it with pasta, but I definitely recommend Bohemian dumplings.
