Beef Goulash Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

2 ½ lbs Beef Chuck Roast, cut into medium-size chunks

Salt

Black pepper

3 TBS Flour, divided use

Olive oil

2 TBS Butter, unsalted

2 Small Onions, chopped

3 Medium Carrots, peeled and chopped

3 TBS Sweet Paprika

½ tsp Ground Caraway Seeds

2 TBS Zipp Zapp Zopp

4 Cloves Garlic, pressed through garlic press

1 ½ TBS Tomato Paste

2 Cups Beef Stock/broth

4 Whole San Marzano Tomatoes, peeled & roughly chopped

1 TBS Fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the chunks of the beef into a large bowl, and season with a couple of generous pinches of salt and black pepper; sprinkle over 2 tbsp of the flour and toss to coat.
  2. Place a large braising pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and drizzle in about 3 tbsp of the olive oil; once hot, add in about half of the beef (work in 2-3 batches), and brown on all sides for about 4-5 minutes; remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
  3. To the same pan, add in 2 more tbsp of olive oil along with the butter, and once melted, add in the onions and carrots, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened; then, add in the paprika, the ground caraway seeds and the herb blend, and stir to combine.
  4. Next, add in the garlic, and once aromatic, stir in the tomato paste to incorporate; sprinkle in the remaining 1 tbsp of flour and stir to combine, then stir in the beef stock/broth, followed by the chopped tomatoes.
  5. Return the browned beef back into the pan, stir to combine, and bring everything to a vigorous simmer; then, reduce the heat to medium-low or low, cover partly with a lid so that some steam can escape, and cook until the beef is tender, about 2 – 2 ½ hours, stirring occasionally.
  6. Finish the beef goulash by stirring in the chopped parsley, and serve with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side.

Notes

The versatility of Beef Goulash is something to behold. It can be served as a standalone main course or ladled over sides like egg noodles or mashed potatoes to create a memorable meal.
