  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Arrange the capers, horseradish, onion and beetroot in small heaps around it and serve at once, with the lettuce leaves on the side.
