Equipment
- 1 Sharp Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 large pot
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs 700 g beef round or shoulder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons Vegeta seasoning or all-purpose seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 parsley root
- 2 carrots
Instructions
Prepare the Pot
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, add salt, Vegeta seasoning, black pepper, bay leaves, and beef. Remember to wait until the water boils before adding the meat.
Cook the Beef
- Let the beef cook on low heat for 1 hour.
- While it's cooking, slice the carrots and parsley root into rounds, and cut the onion into strips.
Add the Vegetables
- After the first hour, carefully add the vegetables to the pot.
- Continue to cook everything together on low heat for another hour.
Rest and Slice the Meat
- After the second hour, both the meat and vegetables should be cooked.
- Remove the meat from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve
- Slice the meat into pieces about half an inch thick.
- Serve immediately. If you're serving later, you can return the meat to the cooking liquid to keep it juicy.
Save the Broth
- The liquid in which the meat and vegetables cooked is quite salty, so it's not recommended to serve it as soup.
- Instead, strain it into a container, store it in the freezer, and use it as a broth base in future recipes. Enjoy!
