Polish boiled beef recipe - anyone?

[Adrian Tupper]

I suspect this is one of those "there is no single recipe" creations.

Anyway, I'm looking for a recipe for a Polish boiled beef dish called, I
think from google, Sztuka Miesa. I say I think, because a Polish friend
from many years ago called it something that sounded like Shtukk-ummients.

Well, although I did indeed find recipes for Sztuka Miesa, all are in
Polish!

e.g. http://pychotka.pl/przepisy-kulinarne/wo%B3owina/sztuka-mi%EAsa.html

Can anyone help with a recipe or with a translation?
(those free online translations really can't handle Polish!)

Not sure if this is what you want, but it looks as if it might come out
the same as the photograph

Thanks. You did well to find this. I looked through 4 search engines
and found nothing I could understand :-(

It's actually rather easy...take a largish cut of beef - like
shin, wash it and ut it in a biiig an of water with a bay leaf
and quite a lot of mixed vegetables: carrot, celeriac, leek,
parsnip, cabbage, onion
if you have a 2lb piece of meat - use one carrot, one trimmed
leek, a piece of celeriac -a piece probably smaller than the
carrot, half a medium parsnip, one medium onion, cut in half, 1/4
of a small cabbage - any variety really. In Poland you can buy
stock bundles - these veg tied with a piece of string, juzt for
the purpose of use in making stock or dishes like sztukamiesa.
It's usually discarde after cooking (I eat it when I can though!,
it's lovely as tastes quite rich ans stocky).

Put the meat piece into a pan of boiling water, then add the
vegetables and the bay leaf, cover and boil very slowly for at
least 2 hours or until the meat is real tender.
Take it out and cover - any meat, when it cools and dries tends
to look less atrractive :P

make horseradish sauce (roux and cream based).

You can go the whole hog (or cow in this case, hehehe) and cook
the veg you'll eat with t he meat in the stock - either put the
veg that takes the longest to cook first or cook vegetables in
turn (but then there is always danger that it will get cold
waiting).
thse could be potatoes, carrots, celeriac, broccoli, leeks.

Slice the meat thickly, add veg and pour the horseradish sauce

anything else I can help with ? :))

You DON'T get over that.....
the day before I left Poland 3 weeks ago a very good friend
delivered an enormous box of fresh mushrooms (mainly borowik, but
laso kurki - chanterelles) to mutual friends' house...when I
arrived and saw the mushroom, I realised there was no time to
waste....we sat and cleaned and prepared the mushrooms for drying
till past 11 p.m.
all the baking sheets were used and the oven (A BIG ONE!) was on
low all night. Not all mushrooms fitted in the oven.
Borowiki travel rather well...maybe you should have succumbed to
buying some fresh ones and dry them back home?

Despite the tropical heat and draught throught July and part of
August..., this is a very good year for mushrooms....

Thanks Krysia. This is excellent - just what I was after. I remember
that the veg were indeed cooked with the meat as you mention.
