Pot-au-feu: Grandma's recipe

This is another traditional, almost grandma's recipe that generations love in France. It is called 'Pot-au-feu'.  It is a dish of  boiled beef cooked over very low heat for a long time in a broth flavored with vegetables and a bouquet garni. Often the broth is served seperately from the vegetables and the beef.


Ingredients (serves 4):
- 500 g lean beef
- A bone marrow
- 4 leeks
- 4 carrots
- 1 stalk of celery
- 2 onions
- 1 clove garlic

- 5-6 potatoes
- 1 bouquet garni (parsley, thyme, bay leaf)
- Salt
- Black peppercorns
