serves 4-ish<\/p>\n
1 kg stewing beef in 1″ cubes Seal the beef a few cubes at a time to get some colour on it without drying it out. keep the beef in a bowl until ready to add it back in. (a spot of water to deglaze the pan in between batches works, save the water with the beef.<\/p>\n Fry off the bacon\/lardons then add the onion till the onions are soft. Take off the heat for a couple of minutes and add the paprika, and browned beef + deglaze. Mix it all up.<\/p>\n Add enough water to cover the meat (not too much – the consistency you want the sauce) Add the diced green pepper, the whole tomato (it melts, along with the onions and pepper – no point dicing). Add the salt & pepper too – but don’t over do it, you can season it fully at the end.<\/p>\n Simmer covered on very low heat for about 2-3 hours. Check, every now and then that it’s not getting too dry or sticking on the bottom. Once its cooked up, add some lemon juice for a spot of tang, salt\/pepper to taste and a teaspoon of sugar if needed.<\/p>\n You can cook dumplings on the top if you like. Serve with mash, a dollop of sour cream, and a chopped green herb of your choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" serves 4-ish 1 kg stewing beef in 1″ cubes 4 big\/spanish onions, chopped 4-6 smoked streaky bacon slices- diced, or a few lardons. 3-4 tablespoons … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[219],"tags":[55,185,93,46],"class_list":["post-645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stews-one-pots","tag-beef","tag-hungarian","tag-stew","tag-traditional"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1016,"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645\/revisions\/1016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.notnick.com\/cookbook\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
