GREAT-GRANDMA ELLEN'S SKåNSK KALOPS (SWEDISH BEEF STEW) RECIPE - (3.5/5)



Great-grandma Ellen's Skånsk kalops (Swedish beef stew) Recipe - (3.5/5) image

Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 #'s of stew beef
2 carrots
1 onion
2-4 potatoes
water, flour, whole allspice, bay leaves and salt
You can substitute ground allspice for the whole berry
12 whole berries = about 1 t ground.

Steps:

  • Cut beef into stew size pieces. Chop onion and carrots. The carrots should be chopped pretty thick. Fry beef and onion in a pot with some butter/oil until beef has gotten lightly browned. Pour a thin layer of flour over the beef and onion, stir. Pour in water so that it just covers the beef . Season with about 1.5-2 teaspoons of salt, 10-15 whole allspice and 5-7 bay leaves then add the carrots. Let simmer under lid for at least 1,5 hours. I prefer to let it simmer about 2-3 hours. Taste stew a few times while it simmers to check if additional seasoning is needed, or extra water needs to be added. Peel and boil potatoes. Add boiled potatoes just before serving.

SWEDISH SAILOR STEW (SJöMANSBIFFGRYTA)



Swedish Sailor Stew (Sjömansbiffgryta) image

This is a very simple, typical Swedish family stew that delivers a taste that is oh so satisfying. Make it in an enameled cast iron casserole or other oven safe dish because this goes into a very hot oven for quite a while. All the liquid gets absorbed and the casserole becomes good and crusty - but delicious!
