SLOVAK BEEF STEW

Slovak Beef Stew image

My Mom & Grandmother used to make this often...It is a mix between Beef Stew and Goulash and is great on a cold day with some nice warm crusty bread! We like this dish a little on the spicy side (more like Goulash) so we add more paprika and pepper. I hope you enjoy as much as we do!!!
