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

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.
