Ingredients

  • 1 kg of beef meat (breech, codon or rump)
  • 50 g of bacon cut into sticks
  • 50 g of butter

Instructions

Combine the piece of meat with the bacon, tying it tightly with a colorless thread, inserting the sprigs of rosemary between the meat and the thread.

Cover the beef with flour, put it in a saucepan and brown it well on each side in the butter. Then sprinkle with vinegar, letting it evaporate, then pour the milk.

Cover and cook slowly for about 2 hours. While cooking, add a little broth when necessary.
