A clear, lean meat aspic dotted with pieces of beef. My grandmother gave me this recipe, and it turns out beautifully clear and lean, with tender pieces of meat throughout. Beef kholodets is a true Russian holiday dish.

- Put the rinsed meat in a large pot and cover it with cold water (3 liters / about 3 quarts). The meat should be fully submerged. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat right down so the broth barely simmers. Carefully skim off the foam from the surface until no more forms. Cook the meat, uncovered, for 6 hours. Meanwhile, peel the carrots and onions, and an hour before the meat is done, add them to the broth along with the peppercorns and bay leaves. Don't forget to salt the pot. Once the meat is cooked, remove the vegetables and spices; set the carrots aside for garnish. Transfer the meat to a plate and pull it off the bones. Shred the meat and arrange it in a wide, deep-sided dish. Scatter minced garlic over the top. Pour the strained broth over the meat and decorate with rounds or shapes cut from the boiled carrots. Let the aspic cool, then refrigerate overnight to set. Before serving, lift off any fat that has risen to the top. Serve the beef aspic with horseradish or mustard. Enjoy!
