English translation:Traditional Austrian fillet of boiled beef with potato rösti, horseradish bread sauce and spinach

Explanation:
Traditional Austrian fillet of boiled beef served with potato rösti, horseradish bread sauce and spinach

There wasn't room to write "served" in the TT box!

"bread sauce" is a familiar UK concept, as are potato rösti, so if your guests are British, this will all make sense!

Explanation:
I am not sure how to translate "Semmelkren" correctly. It is a mixture of bread rolls (Austrian: Semmel") and horseradish, to make the horseradish less pungent, I guess. Maybe someone else can supply a better translation.

Explanation:
Habe noch eine Möglichkeit für den Tafelspitz. Und bei den Rösti würde ich potatoes weglassen. Ist wie mit Pommes, sind aus Kartoffeln, meistens bekannt.
Lecker! Das würde ich jetzt auch gerne essen. Sitze hier auf den Philippinen bei Reis und Fisch. Alles Gute für die Hochzeit und Ehe.
Gruss Robert

Explanation:
Hello Austrianlassie, Hilary gave me an idea of an more elegant version. No more mentioning which part of the animal is prepared in what way, just a typical austrian dish : Tafelspitz with Rösti.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Hi Robert, that's a lovely translation. However, nobody will know what "Tafelspitz" actually is, that's why I wanted to replace the word with something more explanatory. :)
