Instructions:

    • Dice the bacon, chop the onions, and seed and dice the tomatoes.
    • Slice the Cubanelle peppers and beat the eggs.
  2. Cooking:

    • In a pan, sauté the bacon in a little fat until lightly browned.
    • Add a third of the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
    • Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of sweet Hungarian paprika, then add 2/3 of the sliced peppers and diced tomatoes.
    • Season with salt and pepper, then sauté until the liquid evaporates.
    • Add the beaten eggs to the pan and cook, stirring, until firm. Drain the mixture in a sieve.
  3. Preparing the Beef Rolls:

    • Cut the beef into wide slices, about 1/2-inch thick or less.
    • Beat until flattened to about 1/4 inch thick, taking care not to create holes.
    • Spread the cooked egg and pepper mixture over the beef slices, then roll them up and tuck in the ends. Secure with kitchen twine.
    • Dredge the beef rolls in flour.
  4. Braising the Beef Rolls:

    • In the same pan, sear the beef rolls in hot fat until browned on all sides. Remove from the pan.
    • Fry the remaining chopped onions in the fat, then add 2 tablespoons of sweet Hungarian paprika, the remaining peppers, and tomatoes.
    • Return the beef rolls to the pan and add enough beef stock to reach halfway up the rolls. Simmer gently.
  5. Final Steps:

    • Once the vegetables have softened, add the dry red wine.
    • When the meat is nearly cooked, pour off some of the cooking juices and stir them into 2-3 tablespoons of flour blended with 1-1/2 cups of sour cream. Return the mixture to the pan and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
    • Strain the sauce and serve the beef rolls sliced diagonally, accompanied by the sauce and dollops of sour cream.
    • Enjoy your Braised Beef Roll “CSAKY” style with Butter Dumplings and Cucumber Salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
