In a wide frying pan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter.
Add onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are limp
and golden (about 15 minutes). When onions are cooked, transfer to
another container and keep warm.
Then, in the same frying pan over medium-high heat, melt 3 tablespoons
more of the butter and cook potatoes, turning as needed to brown on
all sides; add to onions and keep warm.
Add 1 tablespoon more butter to the pan and cook beef, stirring
occasionally, until it is browned and heated through. Add beef to
container with onions and potatoes; keep warm.
Again using the same frying pan add broth, Worcestershire, salt, and
pepper. Cook over high heat until reduced by about half; then pour
over hash mixture. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Using the same pan,
melt 1 to 2 tablespoons butter and fry eggs until done as desired.
Spoon hash onto a warm platter and arrange eggs on top. Garnish with
the lettuce and tomatoes. Serve with coarse salt, if you wish. Makes 4
to 6 servings.
Biksemad (bick-sa-mod) is the Danish name of this delicious beef and
potatoe hash. It makes a delightful entree for a casual supper or
brunch. From the "Sunset Scandinavian Cook Book", published by Lane
