Ingredients
- 150 g Beef top round, raw
- 250 g Potatoes, raw
- 80 g Onions, raw
- 15 g Butter, unsalted
- 1 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 0.2 g Bay leaf
- 0.3 g Allspice, whole
- 100 g Beer (lager or dark)
- 100 g Beef broth
- 3 g Parsley, fresh
- 30 g Beets, pickled, to serve
Method
- Cut the beef across the grain into slices about 1 cm thick and flatten them a little with your hand. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices, about 1 cm. Slice the onions.
- Melt a third of the butter in a frying pan and fry the onions over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until soft and golden. Set them aside.
- Season the meat with the salt and pepper and brown it quickly in the rest of the butter over high heat, for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Layer the potatoes, meat and onions in a heavy pot or an ovenproof dish, starting and ending with potatoes, and tuck in the bay leaf and allspice.
- Pour the beer and stock into the frying pan, bring them to the boil while scraping up the browned bits, and pour over the pot; the liquid should come almost to the top layer.
- Cover and simmer over low heat, or bake at 200°C, for about 1 hour, until the meat and potatoes are tender.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve from the pot, with pickled beetroot.
