Beef Paprika

My mother got this recipe from a traveling salesman who cooked the meal in hopes of selling pots and pans. Mom said she would buy the pots and pans if he gave her the recipe. He said he couldn't so she didn't buy. Two days later he brought the recipe; she bought the pans; and I still cook this dish in those pans. Its a delicious meal and especially great on a cold winter day.
