Norwegian Beef Stew(Lapskaus)
Lapskaus is a traditional stew originating from Norway. The stew is usually made with a combination of beef (lamb, pork, and chicken are also viable options), onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, rutabaga, stock, flour (optional), bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.
The beef is cooked in water with the vegetables, herbs, and seasonings. As the stew cooks, the broth becomes thicker, and once it develops the right consistency, it’s served warm with a few slices of bread or lefse flatbread on the side. If desired, the broth can be thickened with a bit of flour.

2 lbs beef
5 cups beef broth
