.Salt and pepper the sliced beef butt, brown the onion and fat in the pot, once it has browned, cover with water, close the pot, simmer until tender (length depends on the type of pot!)
Pull out the cooked meat, thicken the juice with a little flour whisked in a little cold water, season with salt and pepper to taste, boil for a while, then return the slices to the pot to warm through in the juice
Prepare the ox eyes; prepare the ox eye by cracking the eggs into a frying pan with hot oil (you can use a frying pan or directly into the ox eye pan), salt and pepper and fry until the whites are stiff and the yolk is runny
Divide the meat slices onto plates, pour the juices over them, top with dumplings and spinach, place an ox eye on each slice and serve.
Spinach preparation:
Heat the lard in a saucepan, add the finely chopped onion and let it brown
Pour in the flour and mix a light roux
Add the unfrozen spinach, add the cream and let the spinach thaw over a low heat, stirring occasionally
Flavour with salt, pepper and crushed garlic, if necessary, add a little water
Finally add the chopped nettle leaves and also the beaten egg, which will thicken the spinach, simmer everything for a while.
Preparation of potato dumplings:
The day before, boil the potatoes in their skins, peel them while still warm and mash them
The next day, incorporate the baby semolina, salt, egg into the potatoes and form two rolls
Place in boiling salted water and cook slowly for about 20 minutes
After the dumplings are cooked, carefully lift them up so they don’t stick to the bottom
Remove the cooked dumplings and cut them into slices.
