Grandpa’s Saturday dish

Bring 3 liters of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, the clear broth, and the soup seasoning. Add the meat to the boiling broth and cook over medium heat for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the piece. Remove from the broth and let cool. In the meantime, peel the onion and dice it into small cubes. Dice the cucumbers as well. Place the onions and cucumbers in a bowl and mix well. Wash and sort the chives, then cut them into small rolls. Add them to the bowl with the cucumbers and onions along with the vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and stir in the oil at the very end. Let the sauce simmer for a good hour. Once cooled, slice the beef and serve on plates with the sour sauce. Tip: Serve with fresh rye bread and butter or freshly grated horseradish.
