HUNGARIAN BEEF PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Pat the beef dry, then salt and pepper before placing in the pot.
• Brown the meat on all sides for a few minutes in the pot with oil and butter.
• Transfer beef to a bowl.
• Add onions, garlic and more butter to pot. Sautee until tender, then transfer onion/garlic to a bowl.
• Add can of chopped tomatoes and mustard to pot, stirring and scraping all the bits off bottom of pot.
• Add in the onions and stir until combined with sauce, about 2 minutes.
• Empty the two cups of beef broth into pot, along with the Red Peppers. Stir until slightly softened.
• Add beef, and stir in hot sauce to taste. Remember the hot sauce gains strength as it cooks, so keep testing periodically to get the level heat you want, adding a little at a time.
• Add orange juice and stir over low heat for a few minutes, again testing the level of heat with the hot sauce. Leave uncovered while stirring.
• Once all is to a good boil, cover, reduce heat, and let simmer for one hour. You can even turn it off and let sit for a few hours, to have ready for a meal hours later.
• Now bring the pot to a boil, and add the sour cream. Sitr until blended. Sauce should have a rich orange color, and a creamy, not thick texture. If too thick, add more orange juice.
• Update the level "heat" with more hot sauce, if desired.
• Serve over white rice or thick egg noodles. Enjoy!
