For Friday's dinner, we're making Danish Roast Beef with Pickles, a classic dish from Denmark that is sure to delight your taste buds.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg beef roast
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 500 grams of small pickles
  • Boiled potatoes for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (approximately 392°F).

  2. Season the beef with salt and pepper on all sides.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the beef and sear on all sides until browned. This will help to lock in the juices.

  4. Transfer the beef to a roasting pan and roast in the oven for about 60-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare.

  5. Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the roast.

  6. Serve the sliced roast beef with pickles and boiled potatoes.

Wine Pairing

A full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon would be a great pairing for this dish, as its tannins will balance the richness of the roast beef.

We hope you've enjoyed this week's journey into Danish cuisine! Stay tuned for more delicious recipes.
