I so appreciate Barbara’s research on this dish. For all I knew it was a recipe my great great grandmother made up. If you haven’t tried it, give it a try. It’s quick and easy and very good. The gravy is delicious.

In reply to Donna. Hi Donna - yes, you can make it in a slow cooker. Brown the meat and then saute the onion in a skillet on the stovetop for best results. Deglaze the pan with the broth, then pour it into the slow cooker, add the brown beef and spices and cook on high for 4 hours until the beef is tender. Thicken with the flour slurry as described in steps 7 and 8.

Could I use crock pot instead? Looks so good. Thank you.

We loved. Super easy and tasty. I’ll be honest, I forgot the milk step and it still seemed perfect.

I made this for my husband who is Swedish and Norwegian–I’m Swedish. It was delightful! So very flavorful! I tend to have allergies to pepper so I sprinkled the beef with salt and ground allspice! I was using a combination of the last of a deer we had and very lean beef so I sprinkled the chunks with a tad of EVOO and let it rest on the counter until ready to cook. My hubby said the leftovers were just as good as the original meal! Thank you! My sister and her husband have the recipe now!

My Polish/German/Jewish grandmother used to make something very like this, and she never went to Sweden before emigrating here in 1917 as a young girl. It’s curious how differernt tastes show up. She used to make a dried fruit soup with raisins, apricots and prunes in tapioca that I only had from a Scandanavian recipe.
Maybe she did spend some time there before fleeing to the US.
None of my grandparents would talk about their pasts. They all cried.

Oh my goodness that looks delicious! My Italian Nana used cinnamon and cloves in some of her meat and gravy dishes-I can only imagine how good allspice would be. Can’t wait to give this a try-perfect comfort food on a cold winter night.

In reply to Rhonda.

Hi Rhonda – I would cook the meat until it’s tender and then add the potatoes, similar to how I do my traditional beef stew https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/beef-stew-in-the-pressure-cooker/ Enjoy!
