Boiled beef

Boiled beef is a traditional English dish which used to be eaten by working class people in London, though its popularity has died in recent years. Traditionally it was the cheaper cuts of meat that were used as boiling would make the meat more tender than roasting. It was usually cooked with onions and served with carrots and boiled potatoes.

This dish gave rise to the old cockney song "Boiled Beef and Carrots" which is still sung in some East London pubs when they have a pianist and singsong night.

Boiled beef is also a traditional Jewish dish served in many homes and Jewish delis alike. It is usually flank steak boiled and served with vegetables, broth, and sometimes matzo balls.
