Hakkebøf — Print Recipe — The Culinary Codex

A thick, juicy ground beef patty smothered in caramelized onions and rich brown gravy — Danish diner comfort at its finest.

Ingredients

1 Season ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 thick oval patties.
2 Fry patties in a hot skillet with butter, 4 min per side for medium. Set aside.
3 In the same skillet, add more butter and slowly cook sliced onions over medium-low heat for 15-20 min until deeply golden and soft.
4 In a small saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter, whisk in flour, cook 1 min. Add broth and soy sauce, simmer until thickened.
5 Place patties on plates, top with caramelized onions and brown gravy.
6 Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes.
