Capsicum- 1tbsp.
Onions- 1 tbsp.
Tomato- 1 tbsp.
Chopped Green chilli- ¼ tbsp.
Fish sauce- 1 tbsp.
L.P sauce

For those of you who don't have an oven, place the beef into a non-stick fry pan and roll it over quite a few times under low temperatures. Again, wait until the beef is well done. After preparing the roasted beef, let it cool off and then slice into small pieces.

Put the sliced beef along with the capsicum, onions, tomatoes, green chilli and mollasses into a mixing bowl and toss the salad. Make sure it mixes and then add the lemon juice, sweet chilli sauce and the fish sauce. Stir again.
Decorate the salad as you may wish.

Beef Nevernaise
Ingredients
Beef tenderloin-200gm
Small onions
Broccoli
Carrot
Potatoes
Tung carrot
Celery
Flour- 25gms
Butter- 50 gms
Salt and pepper
Brown colouring

Method: Firstly, the beef has to be prepared. Marinate the beef tenderloin in mustard, salt and pepper for 15 minutes. After marination, put the beef into the oven until the colour of the beef turns light brown. For those of you who don't have an oven, place the beef into a non-stick fry pan and roll it over quite a few times under low temperatures. Again, wait until the beef is well done. After preparing the roasted beef, let it cool off. Slice the beef after cooling.

Secondly, the gravy for the dish has to be prepared. Making the brown gravy may seem a complicated process, but it can be simplified. In one bowl, put in some onions, carrots, celery, chicken bones, salt, pepper and water. Heat it for 2-3 hours until the water goes brown, after that let the mixture stand and remove the sauce from the deposits. Take a different pan and put the flour and butter into it. Simmer the mixture and make a satay on the pan. After doing so add this satay to the brown sauce prepared previously and mix it in a bowl. Add a bit of brown colouring if necessary. The brown gravy is prepared.

Preparing the baked potato is the simplest procedure. Just wrap the potato in aluminium foil and put into the oven. For better tastes you may add some butter.

Now put the roasted beef on a plate and decorate using the small onions, broccoli, baked potato and tun carrot. This garnishing is one of the most important parts of the dish. After garnishing, add the brown gravy and your Beef Nevernaise is done.
