About the dish

From the meat chapter of «Stor kokebok» (1914). Here the beef tenderloin was first poached tender in milk before being quickly browned in butter – a technique that gives a very tender roast. «Potetesbord» and «risbord» mean that the meat is arranged on a bed of mashed potatoes or boiled rice.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare the tenderloin

    Cut out the tenderloin, pound it lightly and lard it with strips of fresh pork belly.

  2. 2

    Poach in milk

    Bring the milk to a boil with a few drops of Maggi seasoning and the onion. Add the tenderloin and let it simmer for 25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Brown the tenderloin

    Lightly brown the butter in a pan and quickly brown the tenderloin on all sides.

  4. 4

    Sauce

    Strain the stock, reduce it with cream and a little butter, and season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Plating

    Cut the tenderloin into slices, reassemble them and arrange on mashed potatoes or boiled rice. Place boiled Brussels sprouts around and pour a little half-melted butter over them. Serve the sauce alongside.

Changes from the original

Measures are converted to modern units (dl/l/g). «Flesk» is interpreted as fresh pork belly for larding. Maggi seasoning is given as a few drops, and can alternatively be replaced with a little soy sauce or meat extract. Brussels sprouts are listed as a separate side with an estimated amount.
