3    Garlic clove; minced
1 1/2 tb Paprika, Hungarian
3 lb Beef, stewing; in 1" cubes
Pepper; to taste

6 oz Tomato paste
Sour cream; at room temp.

Preheat oven to 325F. Heat fat in a deep heavy pot. Cook the onions,
peppers, and garlic until the onions are limp and transparent. Add paprika
and cook until it has lost its raw taste. Add beef and remaining
ingredients except sour cream. Stir well to combine. Simmer in preheated
oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the meat is tender. Adjust oven

serving.
