  • 2 Spanish onions
  • 4 large carrots
  • 2 bay leaves

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Place meat in a casserole with onions, carrots and bay leaves, and cover with water. Season with salt (no salt if salt beef is used) and freshly ground black pepper, and simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours, or until meat is tender. Cool in stock. Slice meat thinly and reheat in stock just before serving. Serve with Horseradish Sauce.
