👨🍳 조리법
- 1
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Season the beef generously with salt. In a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat oil or lard over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until deeply browned. Remove beef and set aside.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Add diced bacon to the pot and cook until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot. Add the chopped onions and root vegetables to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes.
⏱️ 25 minutes💡 전문가 팁: Don't rush this step; browning the vegetables adds depth of flavor. - 3
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the bay leaves, allspice berries, and peppercorns. Ensure the beef is mostly submerged in the liquid. If not, add a little more broth or water.
💡 전문가 팁: Tying the beef with kitchen twine can help it maintain its shape during braising. - 5
Cover the pot tightly and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
⏱️ 2 hours 30 minutes - 6
Remove the beef from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil. Strain the braising liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
💡 전문가 팁: For a smoother sauce, you can blend some of the cooked root vegetables with a little of the braising liquid before straining. - 7
Bring the strained liquid to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and mustard. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt to taste.
⏱️ 10 minutes💡 전문가 팁: The lemon juice and mustard balance the richness of the cream and vegetables. - 8
Slice the rested beef against the grain into ½-inch thick slices. Serve the beef slices generously topped with the creamy vegetable sauce. Garnish with the reserved crispy bacon. Serve immediately with bread dumplings and cranberry sauce.
💡 전문가 팁: The cranberry sauce provides a sweet and tart contrast to the rich sauce.
