Total time: 120 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: Hungarian
Ingredients: 900 g beef chuck (cut into small cubes); 60 ml lard or vegetable oil; 2 piece onion (chopped); 2 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika; 1 tsp caraway seeds; 3 cloves garlic (minced); 2 piece carrots (sliced); 1 piece parsnip (sliced); 1 piece bell pepper (diced); 4 piece potatoes (diced); 2 l beef stock; salt and black pepper (to taste)

Method

Brown the beef

Brown the beef cubes in the lard in a large pot in batches, then set aside.

Soften the onion

Cook the onion in the same pot until soft and golden.

Bloom the paprika

Off the heat, stir in the paprika, caraway and garlic and let them bloom for a few seconds in the residual warmth.

Take the pot off the heat before adding paprika — direct high heat turns it bitter.

Return the beef and simmer

Return the beef to the pot, add the beef stock, and bring to a simmer.

5 min

Simmer until nearly tender

Cover and simmer gently until the beef is almost fully tender.

75 min

Add the vegetables

Add the carrots, parsnip, pepper and potatoes and continue simmering until everything is tender.

25 min

Season and serve

Season with salt and pepper and serve hot with crusty bread.
