BEEF GOULASH



Beef Goulash image

Slavic peasants created this stew using three basic ingredients: equal parts beef and onions, and a healthy dose of paprika. Whether you use sweet or spicy Hungarian paprika, it should be fresh, with a pungent aroma.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup olive oil
5 pounds beef chuck, well trimmed, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 pounds yellow onions, chopped
1/4 cup Hungarian paprika
3 cups Homemade Beef Stock
Sour cream, for garnish
2 pounds broad egg noodles, cooked
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Season meat with salt and pepper to taste. Cook meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot, and adding 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil as needed. Cook each batch of meat until well browned on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes, and transfer to a plate while the next batch browns.
  • Reduce heat to low, add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent, about 15 to 20 minutes. Return meat to pot, and add paprika and stock. Stir well to combine. Cook, covered, over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender and the sauce has thickened, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Adjust seasonings.

Slicing steak thinly helps it cook more quickly than the typical cubes for beef goulash.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
2 boneless beef rib-eye steaks (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, diced
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
8 ounces extra-wide egg noodles (about 5 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Slice the steaks as thinly as possible (about 1/8 inch) on an angle, trimming off any large pockets of fat. Season with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, spreading it out in a single layer. Increase the heat to high and cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the steak and any juices to a bowl.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium high. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell peppers, paprika, caraway seeds, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Return the steak to the skillet along with the tomatoes, beef broth and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until the steak is tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles in the boiling water as the label directs. Drain and return the noodles to the pot; stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt. Divide the noodles and stew among bowls. Top with the parsley and sour cream.

  • Cut meat up into 1 1/2 inch squares. Sauté onions in butter until transparent, but not brown. Add meat and cook for 10-15 minutes Add the flour and stir well. Add the salt, pepper, and beef stock just enough to cover the meat. Cover the pan and bring up to the boil. Lower the heat, add the paprika, and simmer until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. If you prefer a thicker gravy stir 2 Tbs flour into 1/4 cup cold water and add to meat mixture near the end of the cooking time. Serves 4-6.

BEEF GOULASH WITH LIGHT CZECH DUMPLINGS



Beef Goulash With Light Czech Dumplings image

Posted by Elise on another website. I was drawn to the light dumpling recipe straight from Prague, Czech Republic. The beef recipe was derived from a Wolfgang Puck TV food show. I tweaked the directions a tad. Can you say, " Bájený komfort potravin" - yummy comfort food. Ground beef or stew meat can be used.

Time 2h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 cups onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon caraway seed, toasted and ground
1 1/2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika, sweet
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika, spicy
2 teaspoons marjoram
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 cups chicken stock
2 1/2 lbs chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes (remove excess fat)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a deep dutch oven, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions and sugar until caramelized. Add the garlic and ground toasted caraway seed. Cook another minute.
  • Add the sweet and spicy paprika, marjoram, thyme and bay leaf. Sauté another minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the tomato paste. Deglaze with the vinegar and the stock and add the pieces of beef, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook until very tender, about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • To prepare the dumplings:.
  • Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Combine with the milk and melted butter, mixing lightly.
  • After the stew has cooked until tender, the last 15 mins, drop the dumpling batter by (heaping) teaspoonfuls into the simmering stew.
  • Cover and cook for 15 minutes, then test the dumpling with a toothpick - if comes out clean, dumplings are ready.
  • Once you have covered the pan, DO NOT UNCOVER while the dumplings are cooking! In order for them to be light and fluffy, they must steam. If you uncover the pan, the steam will escape and the dumplings will boil instead.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Tenderize Your Beef: For fall-apart tender beef, consider marinating it overnight in a mixture of red wine, garlic, herbs, and spices. This will help break down the connective tissues and enhance the flavor.
  • Brown Your Beef: Before adding your beef to the stew, sear it in a hot skillet until nicely browned. This will add a rich, caramelized flavor to the dish.
  • Use Good Quality Beef: The quality of your beef will greatly impact the final dish. Opt for a well-marbled cut like chuck roast or short ribs for a more flavorful stew.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When searing your beef, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will prevent the beef from browning properly and result in a watery stew.
  • Sauté Your Vegetables: Before adding your vegetables to the stew, sauté them in a separate pan with some butter or oil. This will help caramelize the vegetables and bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vegetables in your goulash. Carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and bell peppers are all great options. You can also add mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach for a more hearty stew.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth you use for your goulash is important. Choose a flavorful broth that will complement the other ingredients in the dish. Beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth are all good options.
  • Season to Taste: Once your goulash is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.

Conclusion:

Beef goulash is a hearty, comforting stew that's perfect for a cold winter day. With its tender beef, flavorful vegetables, and rich broth, it's a dish that's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make meal, give beef goulash a try. You won't be disappointed!
