Directions
Preparation
Heat oil in 3- or 4-quart pot over high heat.
Rinse beef, pat dry and place in pot. Brown the meat on all sides about 10 minutes.
Add onions and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, paprika, mustard, salt and 3/4 cup water. Mix well.
Simmer, covered, for 1 hour and 30 minutes, checking and adding a little more water if needed. Continue to simmer uncovered for remaining 30 minutes.
Right before serving, blend flour and remaining water to make a smooth paste. Gradually stir into meat mixture.
Heat to boiling and stir for 1 minute to thicken. Serve hot, over cooked wide egg noodles, if desired.

Also known as gulyas, this dish was invented by Hungarian cowboys, who stewed and sun-dried cubed beef over a campfire. Gulya means “herd of cattle” or “cowboy” and hus means “meat.” Put the words together and you have meat, cowboy-style.
