Bankekød is one of the most classic Danish stews — thin slices of beef dredged in flour and braised with onions and bay leaf until you get a thick, dark sauce. The name comes from lightly “beating” (banke) the meat before cooking to tenderise the fibres. It is a dish that looks after itself and tastes better the next day. Mashed potatoes are the natural accompaniment.
