This is classic Scandinavian comfort food, a mash cooked with meat and lots of flavour, served with chives and pickled beetroot. I always cook enough for two days, because it is even better on the second day. Probably my favourite classic Scandinavian comfort food.

chuck steak 500g
butter 2 tbsp
water 800ml
bay leaves 2
yellow onion 1 medium, chopped
garlic 2 cloves, chopped
whole peppercorns 1 tsp, lightly crushed
