A hearty and flavorful Hungarian-inspired beef stew, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat a bit of oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the beef to achieve a good sear.
Add the stewing beef and cook until browned on all sides.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even browning.
Remove the beef and set aside.
Place the beef on a plate to catch any juices.
Add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Return the beef to the pot and sprinkle with paprika.
Mix well to coat the beef evenly with paprika.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate all the flavors.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the beef is tender.
Check occasionally and stir to prevent sticking.
Mix flour with water to form a smooth paste and stir into the stew.
Add the paste gradually to avoid lumps.
Stir in the sour cream and heat through.
Do not boil after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
Serve the stew over egg noodles or with crusty bread.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
