Millionbøf - Million Beef with Mashed Potatoes - A Danish Dinner Recipe

A very traditional Danish dinner dish! Millionbøf is easy to make for small meals or for a family get together.  Most adults as well as children like it.  My family usually eat every drop of this dish and usually ask for seconds. 

Below we prepare millionbøf with mashed potatoes and a side of spinach and red beets. However, try millionbøf with either mashed potatoes or even spaghetti.  Both taste great with
millionbøf. 

Ingredients:

• 1 large or 2 medium onions
• 1 lb of ground beef
• 3 tblsp flour
• oil for frying
• 1-2 cups of water
• 3 tblsp flour
• 1 bouillon cube
• 2-3 bayleafs
• 2 tsp salt (to taste)
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tblsp tomato pure, optional

 

See Karen Grete preparing 

Millionbøf in our YouTube video

Instruction:  
Chop the onions coarsely and fry them in oil. When they begin to brown add the ground beef and brown it well.  It is important to brown the onions and meat well.

Add the bouillon cube, salt, pepper and bayleaves.

Mix the flour with the water and add it to the meat.  Keep stirring and make sure there are no lumps. (optional add tomato pure)

Let the dish simmer for approx. ½ hour.

Serve the million beef with boiled or mashed potatoes, red beets and your choice of vegetable.

Mashed Potatoes:

Boil the potatoes until tender in water without salt. Drain off the water and place the pot on the stove until the potatoes are steamed dry. Mash the potatoes and stir in the milk, so you get soft mashed potatoes. Add butter, salt and pepper according to taste.

Here we have spinach as a side dish but you can have any side vegetable such as peas.  Also we are serving red beets with our millionbøf dinner. Red beets is very typical to have for either a Danish lunch or dinner and it tastes great with millionbøf.

Here we serve Million Beef with Mashed Potatoes on a Royal Copenhagen plate.  The pattern we selected for this dish was the Blue Flower Curve.

Kale Salad Recipe for the - Grønkålssalat med mandler, rosiner og æbler

We love salads, vegetables and fruit. Kale is one of our all time favorite leafy greens. This combination makes a delicious Summer Salad.  This kale salad is so easy and healthy to make. Sometimes I will go buy a big bag of kale for a Sunday brunch.  Any leftover salad I will have with our dinner the next day. So let's get started.

Salad Ingredients:

• 1/4 lb Kale (approx.) 
• 2 Apples 
• 1/2 cup of raisins 
• 1/2 cup almonds 
• Optional: shredded cheese as topping 

Dressing Ingredients:

• 1 tblsp white wine vinegar 
• 1 tblsp honey 
• juice of 1 orange 

 

  See our YouTube video 

to see how Karen Grete prepares the Kale Salad

Instruction:

1. Mix the dressing in the bowl. 
2. Roll up the kale leaves and slice and massage them, and add them to the dressing. Kale is a little more difficult to chew than the average green. The acid in the vinegar and slicing it thinly makes it easier to chew. 
3. Chop the apples and the almonds and add them as well as the raisins to the chopped kale. 
4. Also, to soften the leaves, leave the kale in the dressing for approx. 5-10 min. before you eat it. 
5. Enjoy!

 

Strawberries and orange slices or any other fruit you have available will also taste great in this recipe. With so many options to mix and match to your taste, you can't go wrong. 

In Denmark, I grew up eating a lot of Kale.  My family has always grown Kale in our yard and made many meals eating kale dishes.  Our kale salad or in Danish (Grønkålssalat med mandler, rosiner og æbler) is a modern dish that I am sure my parents would have enjoyed.  We hope you enjoy it too. Skål!
