Instructions
- Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper.
- Heat the Hungarian Infused Olive Oil Blend and olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, then transfer it to a plate.
- Add the onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the paprika, tomato paste, caraway seeds, and flour. Stir constantly for 1 minute so the spices bloom and the mixture coats the onions.
- Add the bell pepper, beef broth, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and browned beef. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a low simmer.
- Cover and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add the potatoes and continue simmering, uncovered, until the beef and potatoes are tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in the parsley just before serving.
- Ladle into bowls and finish each serving with a spoonful of sour cream if desired.
Notes
For the best texture, keep the simmer low once the broth goes in so the beef stays tender and the sauce stays rich. This recipe is even better the next day after the flavors settle together.
