Preparation

Step 1

Cook the bacon in the pan and set aside.

Saute the beef in the bacon grease until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes and set aside.

Melt the butter in the pan.

Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the bacon, beef, stock, tomato paste, paprika, dill, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the meat is tender, about 60-90 minutes.

Mix the flour into the stock and stir it into the beef.

Bring to a boil and cook while stirring until it has thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and dill.

Serve over noodles or rice.
