Biff à la Lindström, first created by chef Henrik Lindström in 1862, has become a perennial Swedish favorite. Form small patties about the size of half-dollars to serve as an appetizer on a buffet table, or make hamburger-sized patties and top, like the Swedes do, with a fried egg. Pickled beets and capers make these burgers truly unique.
