Swedish Beef Stew Kalops Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Toss beef cubes in the flour mixture to coat.
• In a large dutch oven, cook the butter until just starting to brown.
• Add the meat and onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned on all sides.
• Add the bay leaves and allspice.
• Boil the water in a separate pan, then pour over the meat.
• Simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Check the water level occasionally, and add more if needed.
• When meat is tender, remove to a serving dish.

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.

Steps:

• Coat the beef with flour and salt.
• In a large, heavy pot or dutch oven, melt the butter.
• Sauté the meat until browned on all sides.
• Add the onions and sauté for a few minutes with the meat.
• Add allspice, bay leaves, and water, and stir well, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan well.
• Add carrots, cover, and allow to simmer over low heat until meat is tender (1-1 1/2 hours).
• Stir occasionally to keep from sticking, and if needed, add more water.
• Add potatoes, and return to boiling; cook until potatoes are tender (1/2 hour).

Steps:

• 1. Cut the beef into 1/2-inch cubes, and dry the beef cubes with a paper towel (which helps to ensure even browning). Toss the cubed beef with flour to coat on all sides.
• 2. Heat the oil and butter in a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Add the beef, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until beef is evenly browned on all sides.
• 3. Add the carrots, onions, garlic, veal/beef stock, bay leaf and allspice berries. Sauté for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
• 4. Stir in 2 Tbsp flour. Pour in the red wine and enough beef stock to just cover the beef. Add salt and 5 white peppercorns (or 1 to 1 1/2 tsp white pepper), adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
• 5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the stockpot, and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours or until the beef is cooked and tender, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Skim off fat, if needed.
• 6. Ladle onto plates, and serve with boiled potatoes and pickled red beets.
