Old fashioned Hash
with potatoes (4-6 pers.)
Ingredients:
- 750 grams of beef (Every kind of beef is good. But preferably beef for stewing, because there is a rim of fat to the meat. That will keep the meat moist and succulent).
- 100 grams of butter.
- 500 ml. boiling water.
- 5-6 medium sized onions.
- 6-7 medium sized floury potatoes.
- 1-2 beef stock cubes.
- 2 bay leafs.
- 4 cloves.
- 2 tablespoons of flour.
- Some salt.
- Some black pepper.
Preparation:
- Slice the beef in chunks (not too small in size).
- Clean the onions and also slice them in to chunks (also not too small in size).
- Stick two cloves into one bay leaf, and do the same with the other one.
- Heat up the stew pan with the butter.
- When the butter is changing color to light brown, you can put the meat into the pan (stir the meat! This will keep it from sticking to the bottom of the pan).
- After 2-3 minutes add the onions (keep stirring).
- Crumble the stock cubes into the pan while stirring slowly.
- Do the same with the flour.
- Add the boiling water while still slowly stirring.
- Let it boil for about 3-4 minutes, then turn down the heat fully until it is simmering.
- Add the bay leafs with cloves, some salt and pepper to your liking and put the lid on the pan slightly tilted.
- Let it simmer for about 3 hours. Stir it every half hour.
It tasts even better on the second day :)
