    For the risotto, peel, wash and finely dice the carrots. Clean, wash and cut the broccoli into small florets. Peel and chop the onion. Dissolve broth in 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 l boiling water. Heat oil in a wide pot. Fry onion, carrots and rice in it until transparent. Pour wine and let it evaporate. Pour on hot stock until the rice is covered. As soon as the rice has absorbed the liquid, pour on broth again and again. Simmer over low heat for 20-30 minutes until the rice is smooth, stirring frequently. Stir in broccoli about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time and finish cooking.

    For the steaks, whisk eggs and season with salt and pepper. Wash the steaks, dab dry. Turn first in egg, then in breadcrumbs. Remove seeds from pomegranate. Roast pine nuts in a pan without fat. Remove. Heat clarified butter in the pan. Fry the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side. Grate cheese. Stir into the risotto with butter and pomegranate seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange everything.
