Directions

1
For the dumplings cut the rolls into small cubes. Warm the milk lukewarm and pour over the rolls. Leave to stand for about 30 minutes. Put spinach and 75 ml water in a pot. Cover and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring from time to time.
2
Let it cool down. Peel onions and garlic. Cut 1 onion and garlic into fine cubes. Melt 25 g butter, fry onion and garlic in it, add to the rolls and put aside.
3
For the seasoning butter, halve the remaining onions. Dice one onion half very finely. Cut the rest into strips and put aside. Peel and finely grate the horseradish. Wash parsley and shake dry.
4
Pluck off leaves and chop finely. Put 100 g butter, onion, parsley, horseradish and mustard into a mixing bowl and puree to a smooth mixture with a chopping stick. Season the butter mixture with salt and pepper.
5
Squeeze the spinach well, chop it coarsely. Add spinach, eggs and flour to the rolls. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, knead everything well together. If the mixture is too moist, knead in some more flour.
6
Form dumplings from the mixture with 2 tablespoons. Cook in portions in plenty of boiling salted water for 6-8 minutes. Lift out with a skimmer and drain.
7
Cut Tyrolean bacon into fine strips. Wash apples, grate dry and cut into thick slices, drizzle with lemon juice. Dab beef fillet dry and cut into 4 steaks/medallions.
8
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, fry the Tyrolean bacon in it until crispy, take it out and let it drain on kitchen paper. Fry the apple slices in the frying fat in portions, turning briefly, and place in an ovenproof dish.
9
Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a hot pan and fry the medallions on both sides for about 1 minute each, season with salt and pepper. Spread on the apple slices. In the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ circulating air: 150 °C/ gas: see
10
manufacturer) Cook for 10-12 minutes.
11
Melt 50 g butter in a large pan, fry the gnocchi in the hot butter. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in another pan, fry the onion strips in it. Sprinkle with sugar and allow to caramelize slightly.
12
Deglaze with vinegar, season with salt and pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes. Melt the seasoning butter in a small pot. Add cream and mix well with a blender. Let the fillet steaks rest for a short time.
13
Arrange on plates with sauce, apple slices and dumplings. Spread onions and Tyrolean bacon on top. Serve immediately.
