Peel and slice the onion. Peel the onion and cut it into strips

Saute the vegetables. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and the vegetable mixture for sirloin sauce, and saute over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes

Add the mustard. Add the mustard and lemon juice to the sauce base and saute over medium heat for about 1 minute

Add water and let it cook. Add water so that the vegetables are submerged about 2 cm below the surface, add the bay leaf (if you have one), and cook over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables soften

Blend the sauce. Remove the bay leaf from the sauce and blend everything until smooth

Add the cream and simmer. Add the cream and let it simmer over low heat for about 1 minute, then season with lemon juice

Warm the meatloaf and heat the dumplings. Warm the meatloaf in the finished sauce over low heat for about 3-5 minutes; meanwhile, heat the dumplings in a colander over boiling water under a lid or in a steamer (or in the microwave)

Heat the dumpling. Meanwhile, heat the dumplings in steam or in the microwave (but sprinkle them with at least some water). A few minutes so they warm through nicely.
