One serving has 521 kcal and 30 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of cobalamin (123%), zinc (79%), selenium (70%), niacin (55%), choline (52%) and phosphorus (48%). Ready in 20 minutes.

- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (253 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Contains: beef, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 120 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
- 1 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 15 g Onions, raw
- 25 g Beets, pickled
- 5 g Horseradish, freshly grated (or prepared)
- 5 g Capers
- 17 g Egg yolk, raw
- 40 g Bread, white (a thick slice)
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 15 g Lettuce leaves
Method
- Shape the beef into a patty about 1.5 cm thick and the size of the slice of bread, and score a criss-cross on top with a knife. Season it with the salt and pepper.
- Finely chop the onion and dice the pickled beetroot; have the horseradish and capers ready. Separate the egg and keep the yolk in half the shell; it is eaten raw, so use a very fresh egg.
- Melt half the butter in a frying pan and fry the bread over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Put it on a warm plate.
- Raise the heat, add the rest of the butter and fry the patty for 2-3 minutes per side, until well browned outside and still rosy in the middle, as is usual in Denmark; for children, pregnant women and older people, cook it through, until no pink remains.
- Lay the patty on the fried bread, press a small hollow in the middle and set the egg yolk in it, in its half shell or slid out.
- Arrange the capers, horseradish, onion and beetroot in small heaps around it and serve at once, with the lettuce leaves on the side.
