Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the beef, onion, starch, salt, pepper, nutmeg and ginger.

2. 2

   Add the milk a little at a time, mixing with your hand for about 2 min, until the mixture is soft, sticky and clearly holds together. Chill for 15 min.

3. 3

   Wet your hands and shape the mixture into 8 oval patties about 2 cm (3/4 in) thick.

4. 4

   Cut the potatoes into even chunks and put them in a pot of cold water with a good pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife slides in easily, 18-20 min. Drain and keep warm.

5. 5

   Melt 30 g of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in two batches, 3 min per side, until well browned. They finish cooking in the gravy. Move them to a plate.

6. 6

   In a wide pan, melt the remaining 40 g butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until it smells nutty and turns light brown, 2-3 min.

7. 7

   Whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 min, until the paste turns golden brown. Watch the heat so it does not burn.

8. 8

   Pour in the stock gradually, whisking until smooth. Stir in the cream and soy sauce and simmer for 5 min.

9. 9

   Slide the patties into the gravy, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 min, turning once, until cooked through to 71 °C (160 °F) with no pink in the middle. Do not stir, or the gravy turns cloudy.

10. 10

    Serve the patties with gravy, the potatoes and a spoonful of lingonberry jam.
