How do you go about it?

1Paleron (the day before)

Peel and chop the carrots and onions. Cut the chuck into pieces and brown in butter in a large casserole dish. Cover with cold water, then add the vegetables, bouquet garni and celery. Cook for at least
3 hours at a simmer so as not to disturb the stock.
Set aside in the stock.

2Parsleyed (the day before)

Soften the gelatine in cold water. Take 1 litre of the beef stock and add the softened gelatine leaves. Bring the gelled stock to the boil and add the chopped tarragon and mustard.

48 hours in the fridge.

Serve the parsley in small cubes as an aperitif, with mustard, gherkins, horseradish, etc.
