Beef in Paprika Sauce

February 21, 2011 by mydanishkitchen

Beef in Paprika

The nice thing about living in Virginia is that Spring comes early and fall stays late. Our winter is short and yes we did get a fair amount of snow this year but the snow melted away within a couple of days. And so now that Spring is slowly approaching (we have already had a couple of wonderful warm days in the 70’s 🙂 yes we are lucky indeed) but before Spring really takes a hold on us I think we can squeeze in one more dish of what I consider a comfort food. This is a wonderful beef stew with a mild and sweet paprika flavor, onions, tomatoes and tender mushrooms. It becomes even more delicious when served with a slightly perfumed Jasmine rice…my all-time favorite rice. So before the tiny buds burst into brilliant green and we all start sneezing again there is still time for one more hardy meal. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs cubed beef

1 tablespoon sweet Hungarian paprika

1 teaspoon salt

olive oil for browning

1 onion, diced

6 large mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 14 oz can diced tomatoes

2 cups chicken stock

3 sprigs fresh thyme

salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoon sour cream

water and cornstarch

Directions:

Trim off excess fat and cut beef cubes into bite size pieces. Season meat with paprika and salt. Place beef cubes in hot pan and brown, careful not to crowd the pan. You may have to brown meat in batches. Once meat is browned remove to a plate and set aside.

Add onions to pan and cook until translucent, then move onions to outer edge of pan and add mushrooms. Cook mushrooms until they just start to soften. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.

Add tomato paste, diced tomatoes, chicken stock and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and let simmer for 1/2 to 1 hour. Add sour cream and stir. Mix cold water and cornstarch in a cup to make a slurry and add into simmering beef stew in small increments until desired thickened consistency. Serve over Jasmine rice. Enjoy!

    You are so lucky to have had 70F weather – even if it was just a couple of days. It has been so gray and dreary in North Jutland. We are dreaming of the sun. This recipe looks terrific, and I love that you are a fan of Jasmine rice, too. People tend to go with Basmati so often, but I love Jasmine.

      Oh I know how gray and dreary it can be in the winter time in Denmark, BUT… very soon you will have the amazing long summer night, and that I envy you 🙂

    This looks so comforting, I’m glad you squeezed it in before Spring like weather shows up;-) I love the sweet paprika and small amount of sour cream in your beef dish.

    Just noticed your Beef in Paprika Sauce on foodbuzz…buzzed you, and I’m here to let you know that you did an amazing job on this authentic Hungarian dish. Having a Hungarian mother, who was very fussy about her authentic dishes, I can attest to your beautiful and yummy dish!
