This is something between a lasagna and a classic potato gratin. It's easy and quick to prepare, and you have both potato, vegetables and soya mince in the gratin, so you don't need to prepare a side dish. It is possible to change the soya mice to normal minced beef.... but it will not be a vegetarian gratin anymore...
This is a traditional homemade roast beef from the region Alsace in France. The dish is served together with Alsatian pasta called Spätzele. To get the meat really tender, let the meat soak in the marinade over the night before the dish will be served. The portions are usually very big in this part of the country so you will not be hungry after a dinner like this.
