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.

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.
