Original 1900 recipe
Verbatim from the 1900 edition of the Cookbook for School and Home (Erken & Caroline Steen).

Erken & Caroline Steen (1900): tenderloin is pounded and pressed, cut into thick slices and browned quickly so it barely warms through; kept warm in a water bath while an onion sauce with broth from the trimmings and meat juices steeps slowly for ½ hour and is poured over.

En forfinet biffrett der mørbraden bankes, presses og brunes raskt før den holdes varm i vannbad mens en sky- og løksaus trekker langsomt. Retten viser fransk-inspirert finmatlaging i Erken & Caroline Steens kjøkken rundt 1900.
Pound and press the tenderloin
Pound the whole tenderloin with a wooden mallet and put it under heavy press. Then cut it into thick slices and pound them a little.
Brown quickly
Brown the slices very quickly in 50 g butter, so they barely become warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Place them in a deep dish set in boiling water (a water bath).
Boil stock from the trimmings
Put the trimmings over the heat in cold, salted water and boil them down to a small cup of broth.
Make the sauce
Put the rest of the butter in the cleaned pan and stir in the finely sliced onion until it is light brown. Pour in the broth together with the meat juices from the dish.
Let the sauce steep
Let the sauce cook very slowly for ½ hour without stirring. Pour it over the meat when serving.
