7. Lapskaus
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 ¾ pounds (800 g) beef stewing meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch (2 ½ cm) cubes
- 3 cups (720 ml) beef stock
- 1 large onion
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) celery root or parsnip, peeled
- 2 large carrots, peeled,
- 2 cups (400 g) potatoes, peeled
- 1 large leak, rinsed
- Parsley, to garnish
Instruction
- Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan. Add the beef and brown on each side, you may need to brown the beef in batches. Place the beef in a large pot and add the stock. Bring to a boil then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Chop all the vegetables into ½-inch (1 ½ cm) pieces, except the leeks which should be sliced thinly. Add the vegetables to the pot and return to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook uncovered for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Don’t be tempted to add more liquid as the vegetables will cook down, resulting in a somewhat-thick stew.
- Serve warm with flatbread or bread, and garnish with chopped parsley.
