Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams veal stew meat
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 500 milliliters chicken or beef stock
- 120 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss the veal stew meat in the mixture until evenly coated.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the floured veal in batches, searing until golden brown on all sides. Remove the browned veal pieces and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, and in the same pan, add the chopped onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, sweet Hungarian paprika, and caraway seeds. Stir well to coat the onions with the spices, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing its flavors to develop.
Pour in the chicken or beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the browned veal to the pan, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the veal is tender and the sauce has thickened, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the veal paprika hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with buttered noodles, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
