Biff á la Lindström



Yesterday I made an attempt on a Swedish classic; Biff á la Lindström. This dish actually has it's roots in Russia. A manufacturer named Lindström, born and raised in St. Petersburg visited a hotel in Kalmar (Hotell Witt) with some colleagues and wanted them to get a taste of Russia and ordered in ground beef, capers, beets, potatoes, union and eggs. He then gave the chef instructions on how to cook it and the restaurant has kept it on their menu ever since. This was back in 1862.

My version comes from the Swedish chef Leif Mannerström, famous for his husmanskost, and also contains mustard and HP sauce.

I give it a solid 6, good homey food. David forgot to give his review but I'm sure he liked it.
