Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 TBSP Lard
  • 2 lbs of sliced yellow onion
  • 6 TBSP Sweet paprika
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat cut into bite sizes
  • 1 tsp Caraway seed
  • 2 cups diced sweet peppers We used the cute, little, pumpkin-shaped Hungarian peppers we grew (in honor of goulash)
  • 1/2 TBSP Crushed garlic
  • 1 - 2 quarts of beef broth
  • 2 cups chopped carrots
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups of diced tomatoes
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook onions in lard (or tallow or butter, if you prefer), just until onions begin to brown.
  2. Turn off heat and stir in the paprika.
  3. Turn heat back on, stir in caraway seed and stew beef. Cook until beef is browned.
  4. Add sweet peppers and cook until just beginning to soften.
  5. Add caraway seed and paprika.
  6. Stir in garlic, cook 1 minute.
  7. Add broth, bay leaves, carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. Simmer for 40 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add broth if needed before vegetables are cooked. It will be a stew-y soup or soupy stew.
