Beef Goulash

A deeply savory Hungarian beef stew built on sweet onions, fragrant paprika, caraway, and a slow simmer that turns chuck tender while keeping the sauce richly concentrated.

Comment préparer

1
Pat the beef dry and season it with half of the salt and all of the black pepper. Heat the lard in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2
Working in two batches, sear the beef for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deeply browned. Transfer it to a plate; leave the browned fond in the pot.

3
Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden. Add the garlic and crushed caraway and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Remove the pot from the heat for 30 seconds. Stir in the paprika, then immediately add the tomato and bell pepper. Return to medium heat and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften and the paprika smells sweet rather than toasted.
5
Return the beef and any collected juices to the pot. Pour in the warm stock, add the marjoram and remaining salt, and bring the liquid just to a gentle simmer.
6
Cover the pot slightly ajar and simmer over low heat for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the beef is fork-tender and the sauce lightly coats a spoon. Add a splash of water if the pot becomes dry.
7
Taste and adjust the salt. Rest the goulash off the heat for 10 minutes so the sauce settles, then serve hot with noodles, potatoes, or dumplings.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Cooking the onions until golden creates a sweet base, while blooming paprika briefly in the rendered beef fat releases its aroma. A long, gentle simmer then converts collagen-rich chuck into tender pieces and concentrates the sauce.
