For 4-6 ppl
1 dl oil
1 kg aberdeen angus diced beef
1 kg onion – it seems a lot, but this is the whole soul of the food, so don’t be shy - trust me here
2-4 tbsp paprika powder
2 bayleaf
2-3 carrot
1 chard
2 tomatoes (or one can chopped tomato)
1 kg potato
1-2 l beef stock (cube is also fine)
Method
Heat the oil and add the chopped onions fry them on medium heat. Wait until golden brown and add the diced beef. Fry them until they lose their color and the beef is slightly roasted. After a minute add paprika powder, but be careful not to overheat it, it can turn bitter quickly. Add some water (beef stock) and cook for a half an hour. Then add the chopped carrot and chard and cook them together for an other half an hour. At this stage you can crush the garlic in the pot as well. Then put in the diced potato with as much water as you wish – it will determin if it will be a soup or a stew – and cook until potato is soft enough.
It is ideal with some pickles – pickeled gherkin or onion – and some extra bread. Famous Hungarian dish – really easy to prepare, don’t be afraid!
