This easy one-pot goulash comes together in under an hour-not bad for a dish that traditionally simmers for most of the day. By opting for quick-cooking tenderloin instead of the more common shoulder roast, the pork becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender in a fraction of the time. We recommend serving this comforting dish over buttered egg noodles with a crisp green salad on the side.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 carrots, diced
1 rib celery, diced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red or green bell pepper, diced
3 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon crushed caraway seeds
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 cups whole-wheat egg noodles
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Toss the pork pieces with the thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1/2 of the oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces in a single layer and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the same pot and add the carrots, celery, onions and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the paprika, tomato paste, caraway and garlic until fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the broth and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the broth has thickened, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package directions and keep warm.
  • Add the pork back to the stew and cook, stirring, until the pork is cooked through and hot. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Toss with the hot egg noodles and garnish with chives.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality meat. The better the quality of the pork, the better your goulash will be. Look for pork that is fresh, well-marbled, and has a good amount of fat.
  • Brown the meat well. This will help to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't steam.
  • Use a good quality paprika. Paprika is the key spice in goulash, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for paprika that is fresh, vibrant in color, and has a smoky flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. Goulash is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of vegetables. Some popular vegetables to use include onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and potatoes.
  • Serve goulash with a side of bread or dumplings. Goulash is a hearty and filling dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. Serve it with a side of bread or dumplings to soak up all the delicious sauce.
