Place the beef in a large casserole dish, cut the large carrots in half and place in the pot along with the peppercorns. Peel the onion and lay the bay leaf over the side of the onion and secure the leaf to the onion by inserting cloves through the bay into the onion. Add this to the pot also.
Add the sugar, vinegar and a generous amount of seasoning and fill the pot with cold water, place the pot on the stove over a high heat and bring up to the boil
Once boiled remove from the stove and place in a pre-heated oven steam setting 90 degrees for 2.5 hours
While the beef cooks prepare the sauce by placing the butter into a medium size saucepan over medium heat until melted, once melted add the flour and mix well with a wooden spoon and cook the flour out for a further 2 mins
With the pot still over the heat add the milk approx 100gm at a time, whisk well after each addition and if necessary turn the heat down slightly, continue whisking the entire time to ensure you get a smooth sauce, once all the milk has been added slowly bring to the boil whisking all the time, the consistency should be that of thick cream
Remove the sauce from the heat and season well with salt and white pepper and add the mustards and whisk till combined, check the seasoning and sharpness and cover with cling-film and set aside
