Segedin Goulash

Description
A good Czech recipe from "The Czechoslovak cookbook". Of course you've got to be a fan of sauerkrate (although the sour cream does take some of the bite out of it).



Ingredients

 * 1 1/2 lbs cubed sirloin
 * 1 medium onion, chopped
 * 2 tablespoons shortening
 * 1/4 teaspoon paprika
 * 1/3 teaspoon caraway seeds
 * 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
 * 1 cup water
 * 1/2 lb sauerkraut
 * 3 tablespoons flour
 * 2 tablespoons lard
 * 1 cup sour cream

Directions

 * Fry onion in shortening over medium heat until wilted, add meat, paprika, caraway seeds, and salt and brown well.
 * Add 1/2 cup water, cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes.
 * Add about 2/3 of the sauerkraut and simmer for 30 minutes more.
 * Brown the flour in lard, stirring well, and add to meat with remaining water.
 * Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
 * Add sour cream and the remaining sauerkraut.
 * Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and serve.
