Recovery Insalatona
When you prepare the meat broth is then the question of what to do with beef (or chicken as the calf) used; like boiled is not that much: the flavor is already gone largely in the broth (as you would expect it to be, for that matter ...).
When I have a nice piece of beef, I use it as a base noble for a nice big salad recovery.
And, although it is a recovery dish, it is still an excellent course.
Personally I'm not ashamed to put it on the table even when there are friends at lunch or dinner: it always makes a good impression.
In this preparation I cut the meat into large pieces and presented it in the soup tureen; in the summer I pretend to cool the beef well (half an hour in the freezer helps) and then slice it thin (by hand or with the slicer) and then present it in single portions arranged artistically and covered by a part of the Vinaigrette. I put the rest of the dressing on the table in a small bowl.
The following is a very simple version; but no less tasty.
