Cooking method

Cut the beef into portions, about 0.8 cm thick.
smear with sweet mustard, leave in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Salt and pepper - optional. I try not to salt my food almost.
Cut the leek and celery stalks into pieces.
In the multicooker bowl (I have a BRAND 502), pour a little vegetable oil (I have a mixture of olive and sunflower), fry the meat on both sides, along with onions and celery.
Then put dried apples on top (you can mix dried fruits),
mix gently, fill with a small amount of warm water, set the "Quenching" program - 1.5 hours.
At the end of the program, remove the meat from the resulting sauce.
Further, according to the original recipe: strain the sauce, add 100 g of cream, quickly let it boil and immediately remove from heat. You can add starch to thicken it.
I cooked it with homemade vegetable sauce, for us the recommended sauce is very high in calories.
Cut the buns, put the sauce, meat on top, again the sauce. You can put a pickled or pickled cucumber on top.
Recommended to be served with fresh light beer and „hau ordentlich rein“!

Note

"What do you think almost any person will answer if you ask him what country a hamburger belongs to? If you don't give him time to think about it, he will probably say," American. " How else? How do we know this dish? Of course, from the McDonald's menu!
But ... but ... excuse me ... isn't it too strange a name for a native American dish: HAMBURGER? Is Hamburg an American city? No, it’s like German ... In the language of Schiller and Goethe, “hamburger” is an adjective meaning “from Hamburg”, “Hamburg”, and if this word is written with a capital letter, it turns into a noun “Hamburg”. It turns out that the hamburger is just an immigrant who was unlucky in his homeland, so he properly turned around in the "country of unlimited opportunities"?
In fact, it's not that simple. The fact is that now it is already difficult to say HOW IT WAS a hundred and fifty years ago. Yes, this is the approximate age of this recipe. It did not occur to others to write down in the annals of history exactly who and when exactly came up with the idea of putting a beef cutlet inside a cut bun so as not to get their hands dirty. Actually, no one probably thought that they were present at a historical event or a great culinary discovery.

The fact is that in Germany a dish consisting of a bun with a piece of meat and fried inside is not called a "hamburger", and is sold ... in any butcher shop. This is a traditional lunch of the working people who have to eat away from home, hearty and hot. Just don't ask for a hamburger, because the Germans call it quite differently! In Hamburg itself it is “Rundstück warm " ("Warm round"), and in Bavaria - Fleischküchele ("Meat pie"). But best of all, just say "Belegtes Brötchen" (“Burger bun) - and show in a special showcase what kind of filling you want! It can be a piece of freshly baked Leberkäse meatbread, and schnitzel, and a washer of an oven-baked peritoneum roll, a brisket with an appetizing crust, or even just a slide of Hackflays, a traditional German dish consisting of raw minced meat with spices.
By the way, we can assume that it is precisely in the hackflash that the reason lies in the fact that the bun with a cutlet turned out to be associated with Hamburg. The fact is that even in the Middle Ages, contemporaries noted the fact that the inhabitants of this city for some reason prefer to eat meat not raw, but “fried in fat”.Now it is difficult to say what that phrase meant, and what kind of meat preparation it concerned, but this version is liked by the Hamburgers themselves, proving their historical priority. One thing is beyond doubt: Hamburg was a Hanseatic city, a harbor city, which was visited by ships from various countries. Perhaps the sailors are fond of a convenient way to have a snack? Or maybe he was remembered by the settlers who went from the Old World to America in search of a better life? We do not know this, and it is unlikely that we will ever know, unless humanity invents a time machine.

So, the first mention of "Hamburg steak" appears in an American cookbook published in 1842. What is it about the beef steak, without the bun? So Americans tell the story of the origin of this dish in a completely different way than the Germans. It is said that in 1885, at a bazaar near the city of Hamburg, located in the state of New York, the owner of a booth selling the then fast food ran out of pork (according to other versions - sausages), and he decided to experiment with ground beef (who decided to invest hot meat in buns, history is silent again). According to another version, a similar idea occurred to a person whose family was from Hamburg, according to the third - Hamburg was the author's nickname. On the fourth ... in general, there are many stories on this score, different personalities, different years and different printed publications are mentioned. You haven’t yet raised the question, why suddenly so many Americans were almost simultaneously inflamed with a burning desire to cling to their own name “hamburger” (excuse this word)? The answer to this question exists. The fact is that at this period in America there was such a delicacy product as export European beef. The meat was transported in ice, and ships with this gourmet whim came out ... well, of course, from Hamburg. So "Hamburg beef" was the same synonym for "quality mark" as in our time, say, "Parma ham".
In any case, in 1900, Louis Lassen, a Danish émigré, patented a recipe called Hamburger, essentially repeating the story we know of how Marconi became the inventor of radio. So next year we can celebrate the official 115th anniversary of a wheat bun with a beef cutlet embedded in it! "
