Beef goulash is a rich and hearty traditional Hungarian dish known for its robust flavors and comforting qualities. This recipe incorporates tender beef, fresh vegetables, and a blend of spices to create a flavorful stew that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by prepping all your ingredients: dice the onion and red bell pepper, peel and dice the potatoes, chop the tomatoes, and mince the garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the cubed beef and sear until all sides are browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Stir in the paprika and tomato puree, making sure the vegetables are well-coated.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and stir well.
- Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, ideally with a side of crusty bread or over noodles.
Tips:
- Use a well-marbled cut of beef like chuck roast to ensure the meat stays tender and juicy during cooking.
- Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which helps in developing a nice crust and enhances the flavor.
- Saute the onions and peppers until they are soft and caramelized to add depth to the dish.
- Adding the paprika with the vegetables allows it to bloom, releasing its full flavor.
- Simmer the goulash on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and savory stew.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can mash some of the potatoes into the stew or use a bit of flour to thicken.
Your beef goulash is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve this delicious, hearty dish with some crusty bread or over a bed of noodles. Its rich, savory flavors are sure to warm you up and satisfy your taste buds.
