By following this description, you will prepare a delicious, hearty Goulash dish. Making goulash simply takes some time, but the wait will be richly rewarded. For the best experience, enjoy your goulash with a glass of red wine.
Ingredients (for 4 people)
- 1 kg beef (chuck or stewing beef)
- 3 tbsp oil
- 3 onions
- 2 red or green bell peppers
- 4 tomatoes
- 1 tbsp Paprika cream (Mild or Spicy)
- 2 tbsp Goulash cream (Mild or Spicy)
- 1 tsp Garlic cream
- 1 tbsp Caraway seeds
- 1 tbsp Paprika powder
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tsp Spicy pepper sauce (e.g., Erős Pista)
Preparation
Cut the meat into approx. 2 cm cubes. Chop the peppers and tomatoes into small pieces. Peel the onions and slice them into half-rings. Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the onions until golden brown. Remove from heat briefly, sprinkle with paprika powder, and add the paprika cream and goulash cream. Add the meat to the pan, season with caraway seeds, salt, and pepper, and stir in the garlic cream. Sear the meat over high heat, stirring constantly, until browned on all sides. Next, stir in the chopped peppers and tomatoes, and add just enough water to almost cover the ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 2 hours. Unlike goulash soup, this dish should have a thick, robust consistency. Check regularly and add only minimal amounts of water if the liquid evaporates too much. After 2 hours, stir the spicy pepper sauce into the goulash. After about 2.5 hours in total, you will have prepared a rich goulash dish that you will undoubtedly enjoy. Serve with bread, galuska (dumplings), or tarhonya. Stir in a dollop of crème fraîche to taste.
Enjoy your meal!
