Beef goulash with tomato paste

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make beef goulash with tomato paste? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. To make the meat juicier, it is better to use fresh beef or veal pulp. In addition to salt and pepper, you can add your own spices to taste. I added a little hop-suneli. Use any vegetable oil. I have sunflower.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the beef. Be sure to dry it with a paper towel, otherwise excess moisture will prevent it from frying - it will stew. Cut into medium pieces. If you use frozen meat, you must first defrost it properly on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Determine the size of the onion according to your taste. If you or your children do not like onions, you can omit them altogether. In addition to onions, you can add other vegetables to your goulash to taste.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Stirring, fry the meat over high heat until golden brown. At the end, sprinkle the beef with spices and stir. You will learn how to choose a frying pan and oil for frying by reading the articles at the end of this recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place chopped onion in the pan with the meat. Fry everything together, stirring, for about 5 minutes over medium heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sprinkle the meat and onions with flour and mix thoroughly. The flour will thicken the tomato gravy. You can replace the flour with potato or corn starch.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add tomato paste to the meat, pour in hot water. Mix everything thoroughly. If you want more sauce, add more water.

8. STEP 8

   

   Bring the sauce to a boil. Simmer the goulash over low heat, covered, for about 50 minutes or longer until the meat is tender. If most of the sauce evaporates during simmering, add more hot water.

9. STEP 9

   

   5 minutes before cooking, add bay leaf. This will make the dish more flavorful.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the finished goulash on plates and serve. Bon appetit!
