In Denmark, this dish is called Schweizersteg Med Surflde. The creamy sauce is delicious and helps to keep the beef moist and tender during cooking. Round steak can be a tough cut of beef, so cooking it slowly at a lower heat level is the key to tenderizing it. It's great with a side of potatoes, because the pan sauce is good drizzled over cooked potatoes (or plain white rice).
