Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter
2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
1 pinch caraway seeds
1 pound onion, sliced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef consomme
1 (10 ounce) package broad egg noodles, cooked, rinsed, drained (Kosher for Passover)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the stew meat, caraway seeds, onion and paprika. Cook and stir until the meat is browned, and the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and lemon zest, and cook for about a minute, then stir in the tomato paste and beef consomme, adding water if necessary to cover the meat. Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 1/2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Opt for chuck roast, beef short ribs, or oxtail for a richer flavor.
  • Brown the meat well: This step helps develop depth of flavor and color in the goulash.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers are classic additions, but you can also add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or parsnips.
  • Use good-quality paprika: Hungarian paprika is the traditional choice for goulash, but you can also use smoked paprika or a blend of different paprikas.
  • Simmer the goulash for at least 1 hour: This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the goulash with traditional accompaniments: Egg noodles, dumplings, or mashed potatoes are all great options.

Conclusion:

Goulash is a hearty, flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
