Old fashioned beef sirloin

Preparation:

Preparation: Tie the strips of ham all around the sirloin using a very thin string. Take a saucepan in which the piece of meat does not occupy more than 2/3 of the capacity and heat it until it has reached the right degree of heat. Arrange the meat, brown it on all sides and add a mixture of onions, carrots, celery and parsley; sprinkle with rum and dry white wine. Continue cooking for about a quarter of an hour (the meat should be pink when cut). Dilute the cooking liquid with a ladle of water, pass it through a sieve, put it back on the heat to thicken. Cut the meat into slices and cover it with its sauce.
