Pot-au-feu

Use round Steak or top grade chuck instead of brisket, a tougher cut requiring a much longer cooking time. Simmer meat and vegetables in beef broth, instead of water alone, to give the dish a better flavor. Leave skin on turnips as they give the dish color and have much nutritional value.
