Ingredients

  • 2½ pounds (1200 g) fresh beef brisket, silverside, or sirloin
  • 3 whole cloves garlic, slightly crushed and peeled
  • 3 whole green (freeze dried) or white peppercorns
  • 2 juniper berries (you may substitute with 1 bay leaf)
  • 3 ea. (4 oz / 110 g) whole medium size carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 1 ea. (2 oz / 55 g) small-medium onion, unpeeled, trimmed, and halved
  • 3 sprigs fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Fill a 5-quart (700 ml) Dutch oven with water, season it with salt, and bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  2. When the water boils, add meat, garlic, peppercorns, and juniper berries, then cover the pot.
  3. Bring the water to a boil again and add carrots, onion, and parsley. Cover and let everything simmer for 60 minutes.
  4. Turn the meat over, add salt, and let everything cook, covered, for 90 additional minutes.
  5. Switch off the heat, and let the meat steep for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the meat from the broth and cut meat across the grain when you serve it.
  7. Serve tafelspitz with apfelkren (see notes) and your choice of raw and cooked vegetables.

Notes

Keep the broth for soups.

Cut cold meat leftovers in thin strips and use like a meat salad mixed with raw sliced onions dressed with a simple oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper vinaigrette.

To make apfelkren: combine and blend 1 pound Golden Delicious apples, cored, peeled, grated and cooked until very mushy with 1 tablespoon wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish.
