Hungarian Goulash - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c. shortening
2 lb. beef, cut in 1-inch cubes
1/4 to 1/2 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic
3/4 c. catsup
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
red pepper to taste
1 1/2 c. water
2 Tbsp. flour
1/4 c. water
3 c. egg noodles

Preparation

Melt shortening in large skillet; add onions, garlic and beef. Cook and stir until browned; stir in catsup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, paprika, mustard, pepper and 1 1/2 cups of water.
Cover; simmer 2 hours (I use round steak; it will become tender if simmered for 2 hours).
Blend flour slowly with 1/4 cup water; stir gradually into meat mixture until thickened, 1 minute.
Serve over noodles.
Serves 4 to 6.
