Ingredients
1 pound round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

Paprika
Minced fresh parsley
Directions
Sprinkle meat with salt, add cold water and let stand 1/2 hour.

Add mushrooms and saute 5 minutes; sprinkle with flour, cook, stirring, 3 minutes, then gradually add reserved broth.
Cook and stir until slightly thickened.
