Znojmo sauce or Znojmo roast

Many of us surely believe that it was the sauce that got the nickname Znojmo . But let’s disabuse ourselves. It belongs to beef liver. The real thing about Znojmo is that it is prepared with pickled cucumbers, which are known for this region. That is why it is not so much about the sauce itself, but rather the roast beef, which is prepared with cucumber sauce.

So are there a lot of fake Znojmo bakes or sauces? Rather, sauces that imitate the real core. But we’re used to that, like with sirloin, right?

To choose the meat for the Znojmo roast, give preference to beef back. You can choose from leg and roast. It is best to prepare the meat as a whole, pierce it and let it soak in the oil first. You can also use a pressure cooker for stewing, or let it finish cooking in the oven.

And which side dish to choose for the Znojmo sauce? In addition to rice, it goes well with potatoes, but also dumplings. Try recipes for homemade dumplings .
