  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 1 kg floury potatoes
  • 4 Beef fillet steaks (approx. 180 g each)
  • 1 collar Rocket
  • 40 g Parmesan cheese
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated nutmeg
  • 7-10 Tbsp Aluminium foil

Directions

  1. 1

    Onions peel and in rough cubes cut. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot. Fry the onions for about 10 minutes while turning them. Fold in the tomato paste and continue roasting for 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season with salt and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Let the sugar caramelise a little. Deglaze with red wine and 1 litre of water and dissolve the roasting mixture. Add mustard seeds and simmer the brew for about 4 hours, filling up with water again and again.

  3. 3

    Pass the brew through a sieve into another pot and reduce to about 1 litre. Mix starch and a little water. Bring the brew to a boil, season with salt, pepper and sugar. Peel and wash the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a coated frying pan. Brown the meat in it for 3-4 minutes. Season the meat with salt and pepper, place on a baking tray, pour over the roasting set and cook in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 14-16 minutes until medium heat.

  5. 5

    Remove the meat from the oven, wrap it in aluminium foil and let it rest in a warm place. Warm the sauce again. Clean, wash and drain the rocket. Slice parmesan. Drain the potatoes, collecting the potato water.

  6. 6

    Put the potatoes back into the pot. Measure out approx. 250 ml of the potato water and add to the potatoes with 5 tbsp. oil. Mash everything with a potato masher. Season the puree to taste with salt and nutmeg and fold in the rocket and parmesan, except for a little bit for sprinkling.

  7. 7

    Arrange meat, sauce and puree. Use the rest of the sauce for other purposes. Can be frozen in portions.
