Note

For best results, use sweet Hungarian paprika rather than smoked paprika to maintain the traditional Eastern European flavor profile.

If the sauce is too thick after simmering, add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

You can substitute beef stew meat for veal if preferred, though veal offers a more delicate flavor.
