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!

2 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck, trimmed of any large pieces of fat and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
6 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 lbs onions, quartered (about 3)
