Preparation For this recipe you only need imagination!

Medium complexity 6 Persons75 min

  • 1 Prick the beef with the bacon sticks. Then salt it and cook in hot oil, to be well done. Ensure that you turn the fillet, so all sides cook equally.
  • 2 Add in the vegetables and onion and cook for another minute or so.
  • 3 Then add in the allspice, bay leaf, thyme, ground pepper, 2 lemon slices and Vegeta Gourmet Stock Powder.
  • 4 Stew covered, every so often adding a small amount of water.
  • 5 While stewing, turn the fillet over and add in the vinegar.
  • 6 Once the meat softens, remove from the heat and leave aside covered.
  • 7 Scoop out the vegetables and blend into a thick mixture.
  • 8 In hot butter, lightly caramelise the sugar then add in the vegetable puree.
  • 9 Dissolve the flour in about 50 ml of water, add into the vegetables and stir through. This will become the sauce.
  • 10 To thin the sauce, just add in a little water and sour cream.

Advice
