Our family was poor when I was growing up in Germany, so we ate garden vegetables for many weekday meals. When Mother made meat for a Sunday dinner, it was a terrific treat. My favorite is this tender beef dish, which gets great flavor from Dijon mustard. -Karin Cousineau, Burlington, North Carolina

Tip for Straining Broth or Stock

A big pasta pot with a strainer insert is handy for making soup stock. Put meat bones and vegetables in the strainer, fill the pot with water and cook. When it’s time to strain the broth, just lift out the strainer. —Kathleen K., Staten Island, New York
