Found on http://www.budapest-tourist-guide.com This thick, hearty dish was (and still is) a very popular dish among herdsmen in Hungary. They made it in a cast-iron kettle hung above open fire, out in the fields. Herdsman is gulyás in Hungarian, so that's where the dish's name comes from. Herdsmen have the best ingredients...

Steps:
- 1. Heat up the oil or lard in a pot and braise the chopped onions in it until they get a nice golden brown colour.
- 2. Sprinkle the braised onions with paprika powder while stirring them to prevent the paprika from burning.
- 3. Add the beef cubes and sauté them till they turn white and get a bit of brownish colour as well.
- 4. The meat will probably let out its own juice, let the beef-cubes simmer in it while adding the grated or crushed and chopped garlic (grated garlic has stronger flavour), the ground caraway seeds, some salt and ground black pepper, the bay leaf, pour water enough to cover the content of the pan and let it simmer on low heat for a while.
- 5. When the meat is half-cooked (approx. in 1,5 hour, but it can take longer depending on the type and quality of the beef) add the diced carrots, parsnip and the potatoes, the celery leaf and some more salt if necessary (vegetables tend to call for more salt). You'll probably have to add some more (2-3 cups) water too.
- 6. When the vegetables and the meat are almost done add the tomato cubes and the sliced green peppers. Let it cook on low heat for another few minutes. You can remove the lid of the pan if you want the soup to thicken.
- 7. Bring the soup to the boil and add the csipetke dough, it needs about 5 minutes to get cooked.
- 8. To make the csipetke:
- 9. Beat up a small egg, add a pinch of salt and as much flour as you need to knead a stiff dough (you can add some water if necessary).
- 10. Flatten the dough between your palms (to about 1 cm thick) and pinch small, bean-sized pieces from it and add them to the boiling soup. They need about 5 minutes to get cooked.
