Recipe Notes
There are hundreds of variations (if not thousands) of the Hungarian Beef Paprikash. The basics are beef, onions, peppers, tomatoes and paprika. You can use either regular paprika, smoked paprika, or hot paprika (or a blend of the three).
Traditionally this is served over noodles and is great with whole grain wide noodles such as tagliatelle. It’s also great over rice.
This is a simple one skillet meal that really qualifies as comfort food. It has everything you want – lean beef, onions, peppers, and tomatoes – all in a rich paprika sauce. You can stew it for a long time, using tougher cuts of meat, but this quick version is fantastic. The sour cream gives the whole meal a touch of richness.
