Ingredients

4 tbsp bacon fat
2 large green peppers, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp Hungarian paprika
1 tsp pepper; to taste
6 oz tomato paste
5 large onions, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 lbs stewing beef, in 1 inch cubes
1 tsp salt; to taste
1 cup sour cream, at room temp.

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 F. Heat fat in a deep heavy pot. Cook the onions, peppers and garlic until the onions are limp and transparent and paprika has lost its raw taste. Add beef and remaining ingredients except sour cream. Stir well to combine. Simmer in preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Adjust oven temperature during cooking time so contents of pot remain at a simmer. Serve in shallow soup bowls with a tablespoon of sour cream atop each serving.
