Beef Stew with Square Pasta and Pickles

Beef stew with square pasta and pickles is a true Hungarian classic, a favorite of the national cuisine thanks to its rich flavors and juicy texture. The slow cooking of the beef and the harmonious combination of spices give this dish its distinctive flavor. As the aroma of onion and paprika fills the kitchen, it immediately evokes the atmosphere of rural Hungarian lunches. The juicy stew perfectly coats the square pasta, while the pickled cucumber adds freshness and a slightly sour contrast to the dish's rich flavors. This dish is a perfect choice for a hearty family lunch or a gathering with friends. The juiciness of the stew and the freshness of the pickles guarantee a traditional Hungarian taste experience in every bite.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the beef into medium-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

    2

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent.

    3

    Add the garlic and stir briefly. Then, sprinkle in the Hungarian sweet paprika and stir immediately to prevent it from burning.

    4

    Add the cubed beef, salt, pepper, and caraway seeds. Sear the beef until it's lightly browned on all sides.

    5

    Pour in enough water to cover the beef. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5-2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.

    6

    While the stew simmers, cook the square pasta in salted boiling water according to the package directions. Drain well.

    7

    Serve the beef stew hot with the square pasta. Offer pickled cucumbers or other pickles on the side.
