WOLFGANG'S BEEF GOULASH



Wolfgang's Beef Goulash image

While shopping, I discovered a big sale on boneless beef shank and bought a few pounds on a whim. Who can resist a sale? Not me; some people buy shoes; I buy groceries, what can I say. I have no experience preparing this cut of meat. As I was handeling this beef in preparation for packaging, I could tell that it was a very tough cut of beef. I knew this was going to be a challenge for me. I went in search of a recipes using it and came across this one on Yahoo.com It is a Wolfgang Puck recipe, and sounds delish. I've copied the recipe exactly as written, including the cooking time of 1-1/2 hours. I believe the cooking time will be considerably longer if it is to become tender. The preparation time I've entered is a "guesstimation" because, as I've said, I've not made this yet. If anybody prepares it before I get to it, please provide cooking details in the review process. I can't wait to test my cooking skills on this.

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.

  • 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!
