I love eating boiled beef in restaurants, but until now I never dared to prepare it myself. Because how do you prepare beef so that it is nice and tender? Thanks to my friend Dani, who told me exactly how to do it, I have now dared to try it AND I am thrilled. The trick is: you really have to let it cook for a very long time and then the meat falls apart. In retrospect, it's actually easy to make, since you put everything in one pot and just let it simmer.

Recipe for Boiled Beef/Soup Meat/Tafelspitz/Beef Soup

Extra tip: keep checking to see if there is enough water and add more, otherwise everything will burn.

I serve the meat with roasted potatoes, Bread roll horseradish sauce and Chive sauce. Or with spinach and potatoes. One variation is a beef salad with pumpkin seed oil

Extra info: The broth is excellent for noodle soup, sliced pancake soup, soup with fried batter pearls (Backerbsensuppe), semolina dumpling soup, liver dumpling soup, etc.
