About Beef Pörkölt
Culinary Hungary's beef pörkölt is a thick stew of beef shank and finely diced onion, seasoned with sweet Hungarian paprika. Aggie's recipe also includes tomato, sweet yellow pepper, garlic and bay.
The beef simmers slowly with water until tender, while the onion helps give the stew its characteristic consistency. Caraway is listed among the seasonings, alongside whole black peppercorns.
The finished stew is served with nokedli noodles and pickles. The tender beef pieces and thick paprika-coloured sauce make a substantial plate beside the dumplings.
