Rich tomato sauce with beef and knodel
(buy the knodel somewhere, but if requested I can put some recipe here)

Ingredients:
Beef brisket 600g (21 oz.)
Pork fat 150g (5,5 oz.)
Root vegetables (Carrot, Root parsley, Celeriac) 600g (21 oz.)
Onion 100g (3,5 oz.)
Tomato paste 200g (7 oz.)
Beef stock 1200ml (40 fl oz.)
Butter 100g (3,5 oz.)
Oil (preferably sunflower)
Black pepper (not grounded)
Allspice (not grounded)
Bayleaf
Cinnamon (not grounded, ESSENTIAL)
Clove (optional)
Sugar
Ground black pepper
Salt
Lemon juice

Make deep holes with knife in meat, froze pork fat in a dagger-like shape and put that in those holes. (Yeeeah, put it there) Carrot is good too. Apply a shitload of salt and ground pepper all around the meat. Heat oil on high temperature in a big ass pot and fry the meat all around for a while till its little brown on surface and put it away. Put the rest of pork fat in the same pot and let it melt, add onion and vegetables (all cut in small pieces) and let it turn brown on medium heat. Add sugar, spices, tomato paste and cook it for a while. Add stock and meat, cover the pot and braise it till the meat is soft. (It will take a while) When the meat is ready take it out and slice it. Strain the sauce (If you are lazy fucker, you can use mixer) add butter and lemon juice, eventually salt and pepper to the taste.

Those are my masterpieces, Ive been told by many people that theyve never eaten better of these. You can guess since Im from central europe (often called eastern - but we just hate to be put in the same category as Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria... :) so my strenght is basically in local cuisine. Im also proud about my Italian cooking skills. On the other side Im trying to master asian cuisine, but it still lacks something.
