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.
