Chef's note
For those who may follow and my reference, I thought it might be helpful the clarify the quantities I used when cooking this for 2 big eaters!
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to fry the onions and garlic plus a little extra to stop the steak from sticking to the pan
- 5 medium medium garden tomatoes
- 3 small onions
- 6 cloves of garlic (or to taste)
- 3 small sweet peppers, fresh from the garden
- 1 stick of celery, chopped and added with the onions and garlic - there was some in the kitchen and it seemed silly not to use it
- 1 tablespoon of caraway seeds crushed in a pestle and mortar
- 1.5 tablespoons of un-smoked paprika powder
- 426 ml (3/4 pint) beef stock
- 1 fat sirloin steak sliced into two thin halves
- 2 baking-sized potatoes
- 1 small pot of soured cream
I browned the steak then separately fried off the onions, garlic and celery. I then added the spices, peppers, potatoes and , brought to the boil and then simmered for 1 hour. You will probably need more stock if you are to cook this for 6 people.
There was also a small pot of soured cream leftover in the fridge which just had to be added just before it was served. --Chef 18:42, 26 September 2010 (BST)
