Ingredients

  • 140 g Beef brisket, raw
  • 600 g Water
  • 0.2 g Bay leaf
  • 0.3 g Black pepper
  • 1 g Salt
  • 50 g Egg
  • 40 g Onion
  • 40 g Gherkins
  • 4 g Parsley, fresh
  • 3 g Chives, fresh
  • 5 g Mustard
  • 10 g Wine vinegar
  • 15 g Vegetable oil

Method

  1. Put the beef in a pot with the cold water and bring it slowly to the boil, skimming off the grey foam. Add the bay leaf, a few peppercorns and half the salt, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours, until tender. In Luxembourg this is often the beef from a pot of bouillon.
  2. Leave the beef to cool in its broth for 1 hour, then lift it out and chill it for 1 hour, until firm enough to slice neatly. Keep the broth for soup.
  3. Boil the egg for 10 minutes, cool it in cold water and peel it.
  4. Cut the beef into thin strips or small cubes. Chop the onion finely, slice the gherkins thinly, cut the egg into small pieces and chop the parsley and chives.
  5. Whisk the mustard with the vinegar, the rest of the salt and the rest of the pepper, freshly ground, then whisk in the oil until thick.
  6. Toss the beef, onion, gherkins and herbs with the dressing, then fold in the egg gently.
  7. Leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, so the beef takes up the dressing. Serve cool, with fries or crusty bread.
