Sjömansbiff - 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.  
Proceed as follows:  
Ingredients:  
1
. Brown the onion slices and remove them from the  
frying-pan.  
·
·
·
600 g of thick flank, cut in  
thin slices  
2. In the same pan brown the meat slices briefly on  
both sides. Season with salt and white pepper.  
3. Add water, beer and/or bouillon, bay-leaf and  
thyme, cover and let the meat cook for 10 minutes  
in the frying-pan.  
4. In a casserole put layers of meat, sliced potato and  
onion, potatoes forming the bottom and uppermost  
layer.  
4 onions, cut into thin  
slices  
8-10 potatoes, peeled and  
cut in rather thick slices  
butter  
bay leaf  
thyme  
salt and white pepper  
500 ml water or bouillon,  
mixed with beer, or just  
beer

. 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 liquid can be  
used, since in a pressure cooker it is not essential that the  
stew be completely covered.
