Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 lb beef
910g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
1 tbsp paprika
16g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
2 tbsp tomato puree
30g
1/2 cup red wine
120g
1 cup beef broth
250g
1 bay leaf
0.60g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g
3 potatoes
600g
2 tbsp butter
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Beef:
- Place the flour in a large bowl.
- Add the beef cubes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the flour.
3. Cook the Beef:
- 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.
4. Cook the Onion:
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion.
- Sauté the onion over medium heat until it's softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Add Spices and Liquids:
- 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.
6. Simmer:
- 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.
7. Prepare the Sour Cream:
- Once the goulash has thickened and the beef is tender, remove it from heat.
- Stir in the light sour cream until well combined.
8. Assemble the Pie:
- Transfer the beef mixture into a deep, ovenproof pie dish.
- Arrange the potato slices on top of the beef mixture in an even layer.
9. Prepare the Top Layer:
- Melt the butter and drizzle it over the potatoes.
- Season with a little salt and pepper, if desired.
10. Bake:
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on top.
11. Serve:
- 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!
