OLD RECIPE FOR DANISH STEW (STUVET OKSEKøD)

Steps:

• Melt the butter; add onions and brown for 10 minutes over low heat. Add 3 T. of the flour, stirring until smooth. Slowly add the broth or stock, stirring until the mixture comes to the boiling point.
• Place the meat in a heavy skillet and sprinkle with the vinegar. Add the prepared sauce, 1 t. salt, the 1/4 t. of white pepper, and mix well. Cover and cook over low heat for 2 hours.
• Sift the baking powder, remaining flour and 1/2 t. salt in a bowl. Add parsley, marjoram, and pepper; mix well. Cut in the butter, add the ice water and toss lightly until a ball of dough is formed.
• Shape into small balls and drop into the kettle of stew, replace the lid, and continue to cook over low heat for 35 more minutes.
• Arrange the meat on a platter with the dumplings around it. Pour the liquid from the skillet over all and serve.

VIKING STEW

Steps:

• Brown butter in a Dutch oven or other thick bottomed roasting pan. Add the curry powder and brown it until fragrant.
• Add paprika powder and then the chopped onion.
• When the onion are almost tender/clear, add the flour and bake it while stirring thoroughly. It is importaint to bake the flour thoroughly or the gravy can end up tasting like flour.
• Add warm milk and bake it all until it thickens.
• Add tomato paste, garlic, heavy cream and salt and pepper, and mix well. Keep the sauce warm, but do NOT allow it to boil.
• Cut the tenderloins into stroganoff-like strips. Be sure the strips are cut crosswise! Tip: Split the tenderloin lenghwise one or two times, then cut crosswise into strips.
• In a frying pan, brown some additional butter and quickly brown the meat. Do NOT attempt to fry too much at a time! Overcrowding the pan and you risk boiling the meat instead of browning it. The meat need just be browned - no need to fully cook it.
• Add the browned meat to the warm sauce and let it sit for about 20 minutes to give flavor and finish cooking. Still, do NOT let it boil under any circumstances, but on the other hand it should be kept warm.
• Finally, stir in whiskey.
