Hakkebøf med Bløde Løg is a quintessential Danish comfort food. It features pan-fried, seasoned beef patties served with deeply caramelized, soft onions and a rich brown gravy. Traditionally accompanied by boiled potatoes, it's a hearty and satisfying meal.
🧂 Zutaten
- 700 g Ground beef(preferably 15-20% fat content)
- 2 Large onions(thinly sliced)
- 4 tbsp Butter(divided)
- 3 dl Beef stock(about 1.25 cups)
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 1/2 cup Water(for caramelizing onions)
- dash Optional: Brown food coloring
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Caramelize the onions: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until they are very soft and deeply golden brown. Add the 1/2 cup of water during the last 10 minutes of cooking to help them soften further and prevent burning. Season with salt and pepper.

Prepare the beef patties: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Gently shape them into flat patties, being careful not to overwork the meat. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 3
Cook the patties: In a separate pan (or after removing the onions), melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for about 3-5 minutes per side until a nice brown crust forms. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the patties are cooked through to your desired doneness (internal temperature of 75°C/167°F for well-done).

Make the gravy: Remove the cooked patties from the pan and set aside. Pour off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens. If desired, add a dash of brown food coloring for a richer hue. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve: Place the beef patties on serving plates. Spoon the caramelized onions over the patties and generously pour the gravy over everything. Traditionally served with boiled potatoes.
