Here is the newest recipe that I have tried out! It is super easy! It would probably also work well in a crock-pot. Since we don't have one, we use the stove-top and that works just fine.
This dish is very similar to beef tips, just Romanian style! :D
Ingredients:
2-3 onions, diced
2 pieces of garlic, crushed
4-5 Tbsp. oil
1 lb. beef (not ground)1 med. sized can of tomatoes (I used diced, but you can use whichever kind you have already, or prefer)
1 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground chili peppers
1 tsp. vinegar
1 tsp. flour (I used plain flour, not self-rising)
2 Tbsp. sourcream
salt and pepper to taste
1. Cut the beef in 1 inch cubes, approximately
2. In a 3 liter pot, pour in the oil and slightly sautee the onion and garlic.
3. Add the meat to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
4. After 5 minutes, add the paprika, salt, vinegar and tomatoes (in their juice).
5. Cover the meat with water. Stir.
6. Put a lid on the pot and let this simmer over low heat for about 2 hours.
7. When the meatis well boiled, mix the flour and sourcream together.
8. Add this mix to the pot. Stir well.
9. Let it simmer just a few more minutes, to let the sauce thicken.
10. Add a bit more salt and pepper to taste.
** This dish traditionally has a pleasantly spicy taste to it. But you can spice it to fit your personal tastes**
This is served over polenta (I'll find a recipe for that and post it sometime), noodles (bowtie, twisty-looking ones, etc.), and even rice. Pofta buna! :D
