About the dish

This beef dish from the meat chapter of Stor kokebok (1914) shows a typical restaurant technique: the meat is half-cooked in advance and finished at the last moment before serving — practical for larger dinners.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Half-cook the steaks

    Cut the meat into slices, season them, and sear them quickly in butter on one side.

  2. 2

    Cool and fill

    Take the slices out and let them cool. Blend the mushroom purée with the forcemeat and spread the mixture on the seared side.

  3. 3

    Return to the pan

    Place the steaks with the raw side down in the frying pan and leave them there until they are to be served.

  4. 4

    Finish the cooking

    Just before serving, sear them quickly over the heat and then place them in the oven for a few minutes.

  5. 5

    Plating

    Serve the steaks on a ring of rice or mashed potato with mushroom ragout in the center. Brush the steak pieces with meat glaze and serve madeira sauce alongside.

Changes from the original

Measures are converted to modern units, and the amount of butter for frying is specified since the original only mentions "butter." The method is split into numbered steps. "Rice bed" and "potato bed" are explained as a ring of rice or mashed potato.
