Flæskesteg is a traditional pork roast characterized by a crispy rind. It is usually accompanied by classic Danish sides such as braised red cabbage and caramelized or boiled potatoes. The dish is traditionally associated with Christmastime, although it is also commonly served on various special occasions or as a hearty weekend meal.

Thin slices of roasted meat are often incorporated in various snacks, such as the flæskesteg sandwich or the open-faced flæskesteg smørrebrød.
