Ingredients

How to make it

  • Combine flour and paprika together in a little dish;
  • Pour two tablespoons of oil and butter into a large pot, heat to a medium high temperature and add the beef;
  • Cook, stirring constantly, for a couple of minutes or so, until browned on all sides;
  • Remove meat, set aside and pour the juices into the stock;
  • Add other 2tbsp oil and, lowering the heat, gently fry the pancetta for some 3 to 4 minutes until golden but not crispy;
  • Add the onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 3 to 4 minutes or so until all slightly softened;
  • Add the paprika/flour mixture, and, stirring continually, combine everything together well;
  • Return the meat to the pot with the tomatoes, a few turns of pepper mill and stock and mix together well;
  • Increase the heat and, stirring occasionally, bring to the boil;
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking to the bottom of the pan;
  • After some 1½ hours add the peppers, stir in well and cook for another 10 minutes or so;
  • Check that meat is cooked through and tender and remove lid to allow sauce to thicken a bit to consistency required;
  • Add 3tbsp Sour cream and stir in well to mix everything together;
  • Dish on to serving plates, sprinkling over with a garnish of parsley;
  • Serve with remainder of cream in a dish on the side

    Absolutely delicious! Just how my Dad would make it and we always served it over rice too.
    I didn't have the Spanish/Smoked paprika so I used Hungarian/Sweet paprika. But I did use smoky bacon instead of pancetta, so I hope the two cancels each other out! ;)
    I will definitely make it again, the whole family loved it!

    I made this recipe last week, sorry to only just now reviewing it! It was wonderful! It looks like a lot of steps, but really it's not. Once you prepare everything (cut up your meat and veggies, etc), it really goes together quickly. Flavor is outstanding!! I only had Hungarian paprika at home so I did substitute that, but everything else I made as instructed - so glad I tried this! Will definitely be making it again! Thanks Don!
