How to make celeriac and mustard beef:
The main course is a different way to cook beef. The cooking time is about 1 1/2 hours, so a walk in the country in the spring sunshine would be a prefect way to ensure a healthy appetite whilst the lunch/dinner is cooking.



Ingredients

8 thin slices silverside beef about 1 1/2 lb total weight.
3 medium carrots, peeled and grated
1 medium onion, skinned and thinly sliced
1 cup celeriac, peeled, grated and sprinkled with lemon juice
5 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
5 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon butter
seasoning to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 pint beef stock
4 tablespoons Madeira or medium sherry
extra chopped parsley to garnish
