1. Prepare the Beef:

   • Cut 3 kg beef (preferably a piece for slow cooking) into large chunks to fit into your pot.

2. Add Beef to Pot:

   • In a large pot, fill with enough water to cover the beef chunks.

   • Add the beef chunks to the pot.

3. Remove Foam:

   • Bring the pot to a boil.

   • Carefully remove the foam that rises to the top with a slotted spoon.

4. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Peel 2 carrots, 2 celery sticks, and 1 onion.

   • Cut the carrots and celery into large pieces.

   • Halve the onion.

5. Add Vegetables and Spices:

   • Once the foam has been removed, add the prepared vegetables to the pot.

   • Add salt and a handful of black peppercorns.

6. Slow Cook the Beef:

   • Lower the heat to a simmer.

   • Cook the beef, fully covered, for 4 hours, or until very tender.

7. Serve:
