Sandwich ingredients:
Ingredients nettle spread:
Preparation Roast beef:
Extra tip on temperatures: If you want to enjoy your roast beef medium, i.e. with a nice pink colour, you should aim for a core temperature between 55 and 60 degrees. At temperatures above 60 degrees, the meat is done, i.e. well cooked. However, you should not go above 72 degrees for roast beef - otherwise there is a risk that the meat will become dry. To allow the meat to relax and the meat juices to distribute, it is recommended to let it rest for another 20 to 30 minutes after grilling or baking.

Typical Münsterland: Before eating, sprinkle coarsely crushed nibbles on top of the salad. Pack the nibbles separately for the picnic so that they stay crunchy.
Tip: Make your own nibbles: Pluck an old farmhouse loaf (white bread) into pieces and dry it in the reheat of the oven for as long as possible. Turn it over several times. Many bakeries in Münsterland also offer nibbles.
