HUNGARIAN GOULASH WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add onions and saute until golden, about 7 minutes. Remove to a large bowl.
• Brown meat in Dutch oven and three batches, allowing about 10 minutes per batch and removing to bowl as it browns.
• Blend the paprika with the warm water and the salt and pepper.
• Return onion and meats to pot along with any accumulated juices, the paprika mixture, and beef broth, and bring to a boil. Adjust heat and simmer mixture until all meats are tender, about 2 hours. Check pot occasionally and add a little more water if mixture threatens to scorch.
• Mix in sauerkraut, cover and simmer 10 minutes, then smooth in sour cream and heat through 5 minutes. Do not allow to boil or sour cream will curdle. Taste for salt and pepper and add if needed.
