6 steps

01
Place the water in a large pot and bring it just to a gentle simmer. Add the salt, black pepper, bay leaves, and onion.
02
Lower the beef brisket into the liquid and keep the temperature around 90°C (195°F) so the broth barely moves. Skim the surface when needed.
03
After the beef has simmered for a while, add the carrot, celery, leek, and parsley root, then continue cooking until the beef is tender enough to slice easily and the vegetables are soft.
04
Combine the apple and horseradish shortly before serving so the mixture stays fresh and lively.
05
Slice the beef brisket across the grain, arrange it with the vegetables, spoon over a little broth, and finish with the fresh parsley.
06
Serve the apple and horseradish relish alongside the beef.
