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.

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.

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

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 pounds yellow onions, chopped
1/4 cup Hungarian paprika
3 cups Homemade Beef Stock
Sour cream, for garnish
2 pounds broad egg noodles, cooked
Chopped chives, for garnish

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.

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.

GOULASH



Goulash image

There is no high drama about simmering a stew. However fine, stew is a homey, intimate exchange, a paean to the way living things improve when their boundaries relax, when they incorporate some of the character and flavor of others. Soulful, a word inextricably linked with a good sturdy stew, is the payoff to the cook who plans a little and has the patience to abide.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, flavorful beef, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the beef. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly.
  • Sear the beef over high heat to create a nice crust. This will help to lock in the flavor.
  • Cook the beef to your desired doneness. The USDA recommends cooking ground beef to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
