👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Pat the meat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil or butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned meat and set aside.

Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Return the browned meat to the pot. Add the diced carrots, rutabaga, and beef broth (or water). Add the bay leaves.

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
- 6
Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the stew has thickened slightly.

Remove the bay leaves. Season the lapskaus with salt and pepper to taste. For a thicker stew, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot.

Serve hot, often with flatbread or rye bread.
