Swedish-style meat
Description
Beef is a very finicky meat. Personally, it doesn't always turn out well for me. But Swedish-style beef is a dish in which the meat always comes out delicious, tender, and juicy! You can serve the meat with any side dish; I prefer boiled potatoes, sprinkled with herbs, and sometimes I add a pickle, like marinated beet. But that's up to your taste ;)

Step 5
While the meat is cooking, you can prepare the side dish. Slice the potatoes and put them to boil. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 8 minutes. Check with a fork to see if the potatoes are soft. If they are, they're ready. Drain the water and leave the potatoes in the pot, cover with a towel to keep them warm.
