Sjömansbiff - the sailor's stew


"We have been unable to trace the origin of this dish. There is no mentioning of it in our 19th century cookbooks, but suddenly, at about the turn of the century, it starts to appear"

Main Ingredients:

600 grams of thick flank, cut in thin slices
4 onions, cut into thin slices
8-10 potatoes, peeled and cut in rather thick slices
butter
bay leaf
thyme
salt and white pepper
5 dl (2 cups) water or bouillon, mixed with beer or just beer


Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Proceed as follows:
Brown the onion slices and remove them from the frying-pan.
In the same pan brown the meat slices briefly on both sides. Season with salt and white pepper.
Add water, beer and/or bouillon, bay-leaf and thyme, cover and let the meat cook for 10 minutes in the frying-pan.
In a casserole put layers of meat, sliced potato and onion, potatoes forming the bottom and uppermost layer.
Cover with liquid and let the stew simmer in the oven or on the stove for 45 - 60 minutes (cooking time is not critical). Serve sizzling hot.

You can also prepare the stew in a pressure cooker instead of a casserole. This will shorten the cooking time to 15 minutes and, at the same time, less liqiud can be used, since it is not essential that the stew be completely covered.
