Skipperlabskovs

Skipperlabskovs is a traditional stew originating from Denmark. Also known as the captain's stew, it's usually made with a combination of beef, onions, beef stock, potatoes, red wine vinegar, oil, thyme, bay leaves, chives, and salt. The beef is cut into chunks, seasoned with salt, fried in oil over medium heat, and then mixed with the onions. The pan is deglazed with vinegar and stock, while thyme, potatoes, and bay leaves are added to the pan. The stew is simmered until the meat becomes tender and some of the potatoes have disintegrated into the cooking juices. Once done, skipperlabskovs is served in bowls and garnished with chives. In the past, the stew was traditionally made for sailors while out at sea.
