I posted a photograph of my very Estonian dinner to my stories on Instagram and received a lot of inquiries about it, so I am posting my recipe here to share. This dish is best and most authentically served with pickles and mashed or boiled potatoes in my household.
Ingredients:
- 1 TBSP butter
- 1 medium onion
- 500g or 1 lb ground beef
- 1 TBSP flour
- 500ml beef stock (about 2 cups- I like to use the beef bouillon cubes with water)
- 4 TBSP sour cream
- salt & pepper to taste
- parsley for garnish
Directions:
- Heat oil or butter in pan on medium heat, then add chopped onions and cook through.
- Add ground beef and cook through, season with salt and pepper.
- Then add flour, stir in until combined, and pour in your beef stock and let simmer for about 20 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Finally add in the sour cream!
To make this a meal, serve with an easy side salad, pickles and potatoes. I like to throw some handfuls of quartered potatoes into some salted boiling water and forget about them as I am cooking the ground beef. Potatoes are easy, filling and very cheap!
