Roast Beef with Beets

Soak the porcini for 20 minutes in 400 ml (approximately 1 1/2 cups) of lukewarm water. Peel and chop the onion finely. Rub the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a Dutch oven and brown the meat on all sides. Add the bay leaf, rosemary and onion to the pot. Add the porcini along with the soaking water to the pot. Cover and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (approximately 400°F) for 90 minutes.

Place the beets in a saucepan and cover with water. Add the caraway to the pan and boil the beets for 45-60 minutes. Rinse the beets with cold water and peel and cut into small pieces. Add the beets to the meat after 1 hour of cooking. Mix the crème fraîche with the flour and combine with the beets. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaf and rosemary.
