An everyday dish that can be prepared in an unusual way. In the Czech Republic you will find tomato sauce (not ketchup) on menus in both school canteens and top-notch restaurants. Depending on who the cook is, it can be a delightful culinary experience or a dish that neither pleases nor displeases…

Ingredients:

500 g beef
1 small onion
2 tablespoons butter
4 peppercorns
2 allspice berries
1 bay leaf
200 g tomato puree
200 ml ketchup
salt
sugar
gingerbread spice mixture

Instructions:

Rinse the meat, place in a pan with some water, add the peppercorns, allspice, bay leaf and salt then boil until the meat softens. Add some water so that you end up with around 1 litre of stock. In a saucepan melt some butter, in which you should fry some finely chopped onion. Pour in the meat stock and cook until the onions go soft. Then add the tomato puree, ketchup and gingerbread spice mixture. Finally thicken with flour that you have whisked in cold water and bring back to the boil. Cook for around 10 minutes, adding sugar and salt to taste. Cut the meat into slices and douse in the tomato sauce on the plate. Serve with bread dumplings or pasta.
