Then stir in broth and beet juice, then add the eggplant. Mix everything together and close into a vacuum bag. Bake them for 10 minutes in a steam oven, then brown them in a pan like they were pieces of meat. Chop the raw rump beef and season it with salt, pepper and extra virgin Olive Garda DOP then put it in the plate as shown in the picture. Over the meat put the fried potato sticks then finish with roasted eggplant trimmed on one side to make it resemble a piece of meat.
