Millionbof

Arla’s millionbøf is ground beef and onion in a brown sauce, paired here with homemade mashed potatoes and cucumber salad. The beef broth and bay leaf season the sauce, while parsley finishes the plate.

Butter turns golden before the finely chopped onions are fried and the beef is browned. Broth, bay leaf, coarse salt and freshly ground pepper are added, and the mixture cooks under a lid for about twenty minutes.

Water and wheat flour are shaken together to make the thickening mixture. It is stirred into the beef, which cooks under its lid for another five minutes; sauce colouring gives the selected version a darker appearance.

The peeled potatoes are sliced, boiled in their own water and drained before being mashed. A separate butter portion and milk are warmed in the same saucepan and stirred through the potatoes with coarse salt. The thinly sliced cucumber rests first with salt, then with sugar, vinegar and pepper.

The beef in brown sauce is served with its own mashed potatoes and cucumber salad, finished with chopped flat-leaf parsley. Sauce colouring may be omitted, as Arla explains in its recipe guidance.
