Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, brown the beef in 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 3 quarts of water, 1 teaspoon of the salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 2 ½ hours.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, split the leeks in half, rinse them well and slice them thinly. Saute half the leeks in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat until softened, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining leeks.

  3. Step 3

    When meat is done, remove the pot from the heat, remove the meat and let cool. Skim the fat from the pot. Over high heat, bring the broth to a boil and stir in the oats. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    When the oats are done, stir in the meat and warm thoroughly. Serve garnished with the parsley.
