| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the lard in a heavy l0-inch skillet over high heat until a light haze forms over it. Add the meat strips and toss them about for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are browned on all sides.
|
2. Remove the meat to a platter and add the remaining tablespoon of lard to the skillet. Turn the heat to medium and add the onions and garlic. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the onions are lightly colored.
|
3. Off the heat, stir in the paprika, continuing to stir until the onions are well coated. Return the meat to the skillet and gently stir in the mushrooms and peppers.
|
4. Place the pan on high heat, and when it begins to sizzle, turn the heat to its lowest point and cover the pan tightly. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the meat shows no resistance when pierced with the point of a sharp knife. Taste for seasoning.
|
5. Tip the skillet and skim off any of the surface fat. Arrange the strips on a platter, pour the pan juices over them and serve. "Borsos Belszintokany" is usually served with rice and sour pickles.
