Ingredients

  • 500 g lean beef
  • 2 large onions
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp powdered sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp powdered hot paprika
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 tsp thyme (fresh or dried)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp marjoram (fresh or dried)
  • ½ cup tomato puree
  • 50 ml white vinegar
  • 1 L beef stock or 2 stock cubes dissolved in 1 L of water.
  • black pepper

Directions

  1. Cut the beef and potatoes into 1.5 cm cubes. Cut the caraway seeds into rough chunks with a kitchen knife. Chop onions into thin slices. Warm the beef stock.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a cooking pan to medium/high heat. Fry the beef cubes until medium brown and crispy, remove and drain on a kitchen towel.
  3. Turn to medium heat. Add another tbsp of vegetable oil and roast the caraway seeds for 1 min. Add the onions and turn to low heat. Gently cook the onions until they turn yellowish.
  4. Add the beef cubes and cook for another 2 min. Slowly add the vinegar, beef stock, potatoes and tomato puree. Add the sweet paprika, and stir well to disperse clumps.
  5. Season with marjoram, thyme, hot paprika, the bay leaf and a pinch of black pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes.

Notes

Garnish each dish with a tbsp of sour cream or creme fraiche and sprinkle with freshly-cut chives before serving.

Add 100 ml red wine after frying beef/onions.

For a more nutritious meal, fry 2 green peppers, 3 tomatoes, 1 carrot, and 1 leek (all chopped) with the onions.
