Beef goulash

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:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1.50 lb beef
680g
1 onion
160g
1 red pepper
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp paprika
30g
1 tbsp tomato puree
16g
2 tomatoes
260g
2 potatoes
400g
4 cups beef broth
1000g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- 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.
2. Brown the Beef:
- 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.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- 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.
4. Add the Spices and Tomato Puree:
- 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.
5. Combine with Tomatoes and Beef:
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and stir well.
- Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth.
6. Add the Potatoes and Simmer:
- 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.
7. Adjust Seasoning and Serve:
- 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.
