Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 1/2-2 lbs stew meat
• 1 -2 medium onion, chopped fine
• 1 teaspoon caraway seed
• 1 teaspoon hungarian paprika
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 beef bouillon cube
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
• 1/3-1/2 cup water
• 3 -4 medium potatoes, water to just cover
• flour

Recipe

• 1 brown onions and reserve.
• 2 brown chuck cubes.
• 3 add all other ingredients together with 1/3 - 1/2 cup of water.
• 4 cook in pressure cooker for 20 minutes.
• 5 as i remember (it is not written in my original instructions), i cook the beef in the pressure cooker for 20 minutes and then turn the heat off. i let the pressure cooker sit for about another 1/2 hour (without releasing the pressure) while i mess with the potatoes. this probably amounts to about 1 1/2 - 2 hours of "normal" cooking.
• 6 while cooking, boil 3-4 medium potatoes (cut up in about 1 1/2 inch cubes in as little water as possible. "as little water as possible" means just barely cover the potatoes with water and use a small pot, so that they are crowded together. when both are done, add potatoes and the potato water to the stew. thicken with flour.
• 7 * hungarian paprika is essential here. domestic paprika is food coloring. hungarian paprika is a spice.
