    Preparation Steps

    1

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Cut the beef into medium-sized cubes.

    2

    In a cauldron, heat the lard and sauté the onion until translucent.

    3

    Add the garlic, then the Hungarian sweet paprika, stirring quickly to prevent burning.

    4

    Add the beef, season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly. Let the beef release its juices, then simmer for a few minutes.

    5

    Add the chopped tomatoes and bell peppers, then pour in enough water to cover the beef.

    6

    Cook the pörkölt over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

    7

    Serve hot with fresh bread or nokedli (Hungarian dumplings), and offer pickles on the side.
