Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 Ib Ground beef from the butcher’s
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 Large onions
- 1/2 cup water
Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons of organic butter
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups of really good beef stock
- Salt & Pepper
- A dash of food coloring
Instructions
- Peel and slice the onions. Put in a medium heat pan with a little bit of butter and fry gently for 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and continue to cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until golden.
- Add water to the pan and simmer until the water has evaporated (about 5-10 minutes). Keep warm.
- Take the meat out of the fridge about 15 minutes before you want to start cooking. Shape it onto four round hamburger patties and season with salt and pepper. Fry the patties in butter in a large pan for about 5 minutes on each side.
- Melt butter slowly in a casserole. Add the flour and use a whisk to mix it for a minute or two.
- Slowly add the stock in portions, and keep whisking while you pour it in. Season with salt and pepper, and add just a dash of coloring to get the right dark brown color.
- Serve the hakkebøf with soft golden onions on top, together with boiled or roast potatoes, brown sauce and pickled cucumber or beets.
