Time at long last for gulyas....

Basic ingredients: Two diced yellow onions, three or four carrots, a diced green pepper and red pepper, two diced potatoes, and two pounds of bottom round roast sliced up. The spices are a good deal of Serbian sweet paprika, a small amount of ljuta/hot paprika, salt, pepper, caraway, a pinch of thyme, and a few dill seeds.

Tons of sticks in my yard from a recent storm...getting the fire going.

First, the onions went in, with healthy pat of butter.

Then in with the beef, adding fuel to the fire to increase the heat.

After the beef started to brown, I added the carrots, green pepper, and red pepper. After a while I added the paprika and spices, and stirred to coat.

Then, just enough water to make it somewhat soupy. Covered and commenced simmering! After maybe a half hour, I added the potatoes, covered, and in another 40 minutes, it was done.

Plated up with a dollop of sour cream, some crusty bread, and a glass of Navip 8-year slivovitz. Good, really simple comfort food. Easier to do on the stove, yes, probably, but this was fun.
