Ingredients for 8 servings:

• 2 kg beef
• 1 pack of soup vegetables

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes; Total time approx. 3 hours

Beef with cheese and gravy

Sear the beef on all sides. Add the soup vegetables and deglaze with meat broth. The pot should be 3/4 full; add more broth if necessary. Let the meat simmer for 2 hours. Remove the meat from the broth and slice. Thinly slice the cheese. In another pot, combine butter, diced onion, and flour to make a roux, then deglaze with the strained broth and pour in. Season the roux to taste; don’t overcook it—the cheese adds flavor and aroma. Alternate the meat and cheese in the first pot and pour the broth over it. Simmer everything over medium heat until the cheese has melted. Serve with dumplings and apple-flavored red cabbage.
