GHASTLY GHOULASH



Ghastly Ghoulash image

This rich Hungarian beef stew is a labor of love and well worth the effort. Stew beef, such as chuck, becomes super tender when cooked with plenty of red wine, diced tomatoes, vegetables, and herbs for about two hours. Serve alongside buttery noodles tossed with caraway seeds.

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 tablespoon paprika
2 cans (28 ounces each) diced tomatoes
2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought beef stock
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 sprigs fresh oregano, plus extra leaves for garnish
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
12 ounces Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

10 ounces small white mushrooms (quartered if large)
1 box (10 ounces) frozen pearl onions, thawed and drained
1 red or green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
Caraway Egg Noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss beef with salt, pepper, and flour in a medium bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Brown half of beef on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer beef to a plate with a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining beef and 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Add onion to fat in pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute. Add wine; cook, stirring up brown bits, until most liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.

  • Stir in carrots and potatoes; continue to simmer until vegetables and meat are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a dry large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Add mushrooms, pearl onions, and bell pepper to fat in skillet; cook until vegetables are tender and golden brown, and liquid has mostly evaporated. Add to goulash.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH I



Hungarian Goulash I image

A spicy way to dress up stew beef. My mom made this when we were kids, and we loved it. It is spicy while not mouth-burning! Can be made with cheaper cuts of beef, and comes out very tender. If it gets too thick, add a little water while it's cooking. Garnish with sour cream.

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

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup olive oil

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 sweet red peppers (look for rectangular shaped field peppers as opposed to small round bell peppers)
2 tablespoons EVOO
2 pounds ground lamb or beef
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
2 teaspoons hot paprika, or ground red pepper or chili powder
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh marjoram leaves, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried
3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups chicken or beef stock
1 cup tomato sauce, tomato puree or passata
1 pound extra-wide egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter, diced
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Creme fraiche, for garnish

Steps:

  • Char the peppers evenly under a hot broiler, or over an open flame on the stovetop. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic; cool to handle. Peel the peppers and chop.
  • Heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, in a large Dutch oven or a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the meat dry and add to the pan. Brown and crumble the meat, then season with the Worcestershire, sweet paprika, hot paprika, rosemary, marjoram and some salt and pepper. Add the garlic and onions, and cook until the onions are tender, another 7 to 8 minutes. Next, add the tomato paste and stir 1 minute. Add the roasted peppers, stock and tomato sauce. Simmer to thicken. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat stirring frequently.
  • To serve, heat water to a boil. Salt the water, and cook the egg noodles to al dente. Reserve 1/3 cup of the starchy water and drain. Then return the pasta to the hot pot. Add the butter, parsley and some salt. Toss to combine and melt the butter. Add some starchy water if the noodles begin to stick together.
  • Serve the goulash in shallow bowls, nested in the parsley egg noodles, and top with a dollop of creme fraiche.
