Gekochtes Rindfleisch (Boiled Beef)

==Description==
===Ingredients===
*4 to 5 pounds Beef for boiling(first-cut flanken, brisket or chuck) 
*1 Veal knuckle or marrow bone (optional) 
*1 large Carrot 
*1 stalk Celery, with leaves 
*1 small knob Celery Root, trim off straggly roots, peel and rinse 
*1 small Parsnip, scraped and cut in half lengthwise 
*1 Parsley Root, scraped 
*1 tablespoon Salt, or as needed
===Directions===
* The meat should be tied with string so that it will retain its shape. 
* Bring 3 to 4 quarts of water to boil in a kettle. 
* Place tied meat and bone (if used) in large soup kettle or dutch oven and pour boiling water over it. 
* There should be about 6" of water above surface of meat. 
* If you prefer, you can start to cook meat in cold water; this will give the broth a better flavor but the meat will lose some in the process. 
* Cover pot and simmer slowly but steadily 2 hours, skimming as necessary. 
* Add vegetables and simmer another 2 hours
* When meat is done, taste broth and season as needed. 
* Slice meat onto heated platter, spoon a little soup over it and slice vegetables around it.
