Braise the beef in a seasoned court-bouillon (coarse salt and pepper) for about 3 hours or when the meat comes off the fork well, crumble and keep warm.

Roast the mignonette with a knob of butter, deglaze with a little cooking broth, reduce by 3/4 and add the saffron, leave to infuse. Whisk in the butter over very low heat to obtain a good consistency. Salt and pepper. Add finely chopped herbs.
