Eszterházy style... stew

I have been returned xD! And I brought something with a fancy name and a surprisingly easy making method. I know, originally this should be with sirloin slices, but it's easier to make this way, and the family loves the small stripes better than the full slices.

Ingredients:
  • Meat! Beef sirloin, or whatever you have in the freezer...
  • Carrots
  • Parsley
  • Celery
  • Parsley leaves
  • Bay leaf
  • Onion
  • Cooking oil
  • White wine
  • Water
  • Sour Cream
  • Flour
  • Mustard
  • Lemon juice
  • Sugar
  • Salt, pepper
  • Pasta
Directions:

Thaw the meat (this time you can use the microwave), and cut it up to stripes or dices. Salt them and roast them on a bit of oil. They don't need to become soft, just until the pink colour disappears. While you're doing (or before, or after) peel and cut up the onions. Fry them on a bit of oil. Then add in the meat, and pour water and white wine into the pot, just enough to cover the meat (if you add more, the stew will be thinner). Put in a bay leaf, and let it cook.
Peel the carrots, the pasley and the celery (how much of each is up to your taste) then cut them to small pieces or toothpicks. Fry them on a bit of oil, and sprinke them with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley leaves.
If the meat is softened up, mix the sour cream with a bit of flour. Pour some of the stew on it, to have it warm up, then mix it into the stew. Mix in the vegetables, and add a bit (tiny bit) of sugar, mustard and lemon juice. You can adjust the salt and pepper levels if you need to, then boil it to complete.
Cook some pasta for the side dish. Officially it's macaroni, and as it turns out, I have some at home XD


Well, it is pasta, so... cheese?
(Looks around if Mom's watching in angry way. Yup, she does.)

Ok, no cheese this time either... for me :(

You can eat it the way you want, and see you next time!

Read it in hungarian!
