This beef sirloin in cream sauce (Svíčková na Smetaně) is one of the most popular Czech dishes, and for good reason. The sirloin is commonly prepared with the carrots, celeriac, onion and parsley however some may argue that the meat should be roasted separately to preserve its flavor. The spices like black pepper, allspice, bay leaf and thyme are also a must for retaining authenticity.
It almost looks like a dessert in appearance especially with the creamy sauce covering the entire surface of the plate and the sides of bread dumplings, cranberries and lemon slices. Yet another European dish I'll be adding to my bucket list of international cuisine.
