Beuschel

Postupak

Korak po korak

  1. 1

    Place the calf's lung and heart in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then carefully drain the water and rinse the meat under cold water.

    Oko 10 min

    Napomena kuhara: This initial blanching step helps to clean the offal and ensures a clearer poaching liquid.

  2. 2

    Return the blanched meat to the clean pot. Add the chopped carrot, celery root, leek, bay leaves, whole peppercorns, and salt.

    Oko 2 min

  3. 3

    Cover the ingredients with fresh cold water by about 5 cm. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and poach gently, partially covered, for 90 to 120 minutes until the meat is very tender.

    Oko 1 h 30 min

    Napomena kuhara: Skim any foam that rises to the surface during the first few minutes of simmering for a cleaner broth.

  4. 4

    Carefully remove the lung and heart from the pot and set them on a plate to cool. Strain the poaching liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and reserve it for the sauce.

    Oko 5 min

  5. 5

    Once the meat is cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to trim away any tough tubes or connective tissue. Slice both the lung and heart into very thin, bite-sized strips.

    Oko 10 min

    Napomena kuhara: Chilling the meat slightly can make it easier to slice thinly and evenly.

  6. 6

    In a separate large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

    Oko 1 min

  7. 7

    Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent, but not browned.

    Oko 7 min

  8. 8

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.

    Oko 1 min

  9. 9

    Sprinkle the flour over the onions to create a roux. Stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.

    Oko 2 min

    Napomena kuhara: This step is crucial for developing flavor and preventing a pasty taste in the final sauce.

  10. 10

    Pour in the white wine vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom.

    Oko 1 min

  11. 11

    Gradually whisk in the reserved poaching liquid, a little at a time, to create a smooth, lump-free sauce. Continue adding liquid until the sauce has the consistency of thin cream.

    Oko 3 min

    Napomena kuhara: Whisking vigorously as you add the liquid is key to preventing lumps.

  12. 12

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing it to thicken slightly.

    Oko 10 min

  13. 13

    Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream, dijon mustard, capers, dried marjoram, and lemon juice. Heat gently but do not allow the sauce to boil, as this can cause the sour cream to curdle.

    Oko 3 min

  14. 14

    Add the sliced lung and heart to the sauce. Stir to combine and allow everything to heat through for about 5 minutes.

    Oko 5 min

  15. 15

    Taste the ragout and season with salt and white pepper as needed.

    Oko 1 min

  16. 16

    Serve the beuschel immediately, garnished with the chopped fresh parsley.

    Napomena kuhara: This dish is best served with bread dumplings (Semmelknödel) or boiled potatoes.
