Ingredients:​

  • 2 pounds beef chuck or stewing beef, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Sour cream, for serving (optional)
  • Cooked egg noodles or crusty bread, for serving

Instructions:​

  1. Brown the Beef:
    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
    • Add the beef cubes in batches and brown them on all sides. Remove the browned beef from the pot and set it aside.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic:
    • In the same pot, add the chopped onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Spices and Tomato Paste:
    • Sprinkle the sweet paprika, smoked paprika (if using), and caraway seeds over the onions and garlic. Stir well to coat.
    • Add the tomato paste to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Cook the Goulash:
    • Return the browned beef cubes to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated.
    • Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
    • Cover the pot and let the goulash simmer over low heat for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  5. Add Vegetables:
    • Add the chopped red and green bell peppers, and diced potatoes to the pot.
    • Continue to simmer the goulash, uncovered, for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve:
    • Ladle the goulash into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
    • Serve hot, with a dollop of sour cream on top if desired, and accompanied by cooked egg noodles or crusty bread.
Enjoy your comforting bowl of Hungarian Goulash! It's perfect for warming up on a chilly day, and the flavors only get better as it sits, making it great for leftovers too.
