bouilli

Simmered meat dish

Bouilli is a French culinary term for boiled beef, typically referring to meat that has been simmered slowly in water or broth until tender.

The word comes directly from the French verb meaning "boiled." In traditional French cooking, bouilli often appears as the meat component of pot-au-feu, where it emerges flavorful but somewhat dry after giving up its juices to the broth.

The bouilli was served with coarse salt and mustard.
