What it is
The queen of Czech sauces: beef in a velvety cream sauce of root vegetables, served with bread dumplings, a lemon slice, cranberries and whipped cream. Ingredients: beef (false fillet or topside), carrots, celeriac, parsley root, onion, allspice, bay, cream, flour, lemon, sugar, vinegar, bread dumplings, cranberry compote. Recipe: 1) Braise the beef with roots and spices until tender. 2) Blend the vegetables into the braising liquid; strain silky. 3) Enrich with cream and flour; balance sweet-sour with lemon and sugar. 4) Slice the beef; return to the sauce briefly. Serve: with houskové knedlíky dumplings, a lemon wheel, cranberries and a cloud of cream — the wedding dish of Bohemia. Flavor: sweet, tangy, luxuriously smooth. History: svíčková descends from German-influenced Bohemian court kitchens; the sauce, not the meat, is the point of national pride. See also: Bramboráky, Trdelník.
