Viennese Tafelspitz
Description
The recipe won't take much time. As you can see, this classic Viennese Tafelspitz is actually a very healthy and nutritious dish. It's also practical—since you can use the broth for any other soup, and serve the meat either with boiled vegetables or on its own. The result is incredibly tender—be sure to try it, because now you know! Serve hot.
