Pariserbøf recipe – Traditional Danish Parisian Steak
Pariserbøf or directly translated Parisian steak is just as French as French fries. Pariserbøf or Pariser bøf as it is also written is a traditional, Danish dish – which is also available in many Danish restaurants – and it is quick, cheap, and easy to make.
Why it’s called Pariserbøf, I do not know. Maybe because the steak is the capital of the piece of the white bread it is served on. That type of white bread is in Denmark named French bread – franskbrød. Or maybe because capers are served – which are added or served to almost everything in France.
Ingredients
1 pepper – most people use pickled chopped beets, but I like the edge the red pepper gives
1 red onion
500 g minced beef
A little butter to fry in
4 slices of good country bread or similar – not too coarse but also not completely white bread
4-8 lettuce leaves – all depending on size
4 egg yolks
Instructions
Rinse the pepper and cut it into cubes – the stick and the seeds should just be removed and not used.
Peel the red onion and cut it into rings.
Shape the meat into four equal round steaks, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and fry them on a pan with a little butter.
Fry the bread slices in the fat – alternatively you can toast them. This makes the dish less fatty, but it also affects the taste – if you like the taste to be more “greasy”. Read More…
