Swedish Beef Tips Sallye Recipes

GREAT-GRANDMA ELLEN'S SKåNSK KALOPS (SWEDISH BEEF STEW) RECIPE - (3.5/5)

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.

SWEDISH BEEF TIPS (SALLYE)

Steps:

• TO MAKE BEEF TIPS: Cut roast into bite sized cubes and lay out on a large cutting board or piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then sprinkle flour over the meat. Using your hands, mix the flour into the meat until all the meat is lightly covered with a flour coating. (You may have to add a little flour)
• Place a large heavy skillet or saucepan on medium high heat and add the olive oil. When oil is shimmering, add the beef tips in a single layer. Cook, turning as needed until all sides are browned. If your pan is not large enough, you may have to cook in batches. Remove meat from pan and set aside. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• TO MAKE GRAVY: Using same heavy pan still over medium high heat, add enough additional olive oil to make 2-3 tablespoons (you can eyeball this) Add flour to oil and use wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom of pan to mix with flour. Stir continually until you have a nice brown roux (this won't take too long) Add wine enough to cover bottom of pan, let simmer for just a minute Turn heat down to medium Add 1 teaspoon worchestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of beef granules and water. Stir until well mixed, then fold in sour cream. Again, continue stirring with wooden spoon until sour cream is completely mixed into the gravy (this will take several minutes)
• Add meat back into gravy mixture, turn heat down to simmer. Stir until meat is coated with gravy. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes until beef is tender. If gravy begins to thicken too quickly, add more water a cup at a time.
• ** NOTE: You can use beef stock instead of the bouillon granules and water if you wish. You can also eliminate the wine if desired.
• Serve over buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes or steamed rice. Yummers.
