Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the flour in a large bowl.
- Add the beef cubes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the flour.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the floured beef cubes in batches and brown them on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion.
- Sauté the onion over medium heat until it's softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the paprika and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the canned tomatoes, tomato puree, red wine, and beef broth.
- Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Return the browned beef to the pot.
- Add the bay leaf.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the liquid has thickened. Stir occasionally.
- Once the goulash has thickened and the beef is tender, remove it from heat.
- Stir in the light sour cream until well combined.
- Transfer the beef mixture into a deep, ovenproof pie dish.
- Arrange the potato slices on top of the beef mixture in an even layer.
- Melt the butter and drizzle it over the potatoes.
- Season with a little salt and pepper, if desired.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on top.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality cut of beef, such as chuck, for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Sauté the onions until they are caramelized for a deeper flavor.
- Add the paprika towards the end of cooking the onions to prevent it from burning.
- Let the beef simmer slowly to become tender and absorb all the flavors.
- For a twist, add some chopped bell peppers along with the onions.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it reduce a bit longer before adding the beef broth.
- For a creamier texture, mix in some cheese with the mashed potatoes before topping the pie.
- Ensure the mashed potatoes are smooth and lump-free for the best presentation.
With its rich and savory filling, topped with creamy mashed potatoes, this goulash pie is sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of tender beef in a tomato and paprika sauce with the comforting mashed potatoes offers a satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion. Serve up this dish and enjoy a warm, hearty dinner with your loved ones!
