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
- 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.
- 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.
- Boil the egg for 10 minutes, cool it in cold water and peel it.
- 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.
- 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.
- Toss the beef, onion, gherkins and herbs with the dressing, then fold in the egg gently.
- Leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, so the beef takes up the dressing. Serve cool, with fries or crusty bread.
