 600 grams of thick flank, cut in thin slices
 4 onions, cut into thin slices
 810 potatoes, peeled and cut in rather thick slices
 leaf
 and white pepper
 5 dl (2 cups) water or bouillon, mixed with beer or just beer


1

Proceed as follows:

2

Brown the onion slices and remove them from the frying-pan.

3

In the same pan brown the meat slices briefly on both sides. Season with salt and white pepper.

4

Add water, beer and/or bouillon, bay-leaf and thyme, cover and let the meat cook for 10 minutes in the frying-pan.

5

In a casserole put layers of meat, sliced potato and onion, potatoes forming the bottom and uppermost layer.

6

Cover with liquid and let the stew simmer in the oven or on the stove for 45 - 60 minutes (cooking time is not critical). Serve sizzling hot.

You can also prepare the stew in a pressure cooker instead of a casserole. This will shorten the cooking time to 15 minutes and, at the same time, less liqiud can be used, since it is not essential that the stew be completely covered.
