Hungarian beef goulash

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Hungarian beef goulash? Prepare the ingredients. Unlike the usual Russian goulash, when preparing this dish, spices such as bay leaves and black pepper are not used; instead, aromatic seasonings such as paprika and Hungarian pepper are added. Wash the beef, cut off the membranes and veins, cut the meat into small cubes, rinse them again with water and place in a colander to drain completely.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onions and cut into small cubes. Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife or grate it and pass it through a press.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or saucepan. Warm it up. place the cooked onions in the oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a separate bowl, mix ground spices. Pour in a little vegetable oil, stir and leave for a couple of minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place spices and garlic in a frying pan with onions. Stir and add cooked meat. Stir again. Simmer the meat with seasoning over low heat, covered, for about 20 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients for the goulash. Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into large cubes or pieces of any shape.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the carrots, peel and cut into small cubes or strips.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the bell pepper, cut out the stalk with the seed pod and cut the flesh into small strips or cubes. Let me clarify again: in the traditional recipe, instead of bell pepper, Hungarian pepper is used.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the tomatoes, cut out the place where the stalk attaches, and cut the pulp into large pieces. If the skin seems rough, you can remove it by first pouring boiling water over the tomatoes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place potatoes and carrots in a saucepan with meat. Pour in a little water until it covers the contents halfway. Add salt to taste. Stir and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    Then add tomatoes, bell peppers and tomato paste. If there is little liquid left in the pan, you can add a little more water. To spice up the dish, add a piece of Hungarian hot pepper. Stir. Simmer for another 15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Leave the goulash covered for 20 minutes to steep.

12. STEP 12

    

    The dish is ready. Serve with fresh bread and herbs. Bon appetit!

Although I didn't have bell pepper, even without it the goulash turned out very tasty! With soft, tender meat, delicious vegetables, aromatic and rich broth. I made it according to the Hungarian beef goulash recipe. True, I took pork for it, and added only black pepper and bay leaf as spices. I peeled more potatoes; I like it when there are a lot of vegetables in a dish. I reduced the amount of tomato paste to one teaspoon, since my paste is very rich. Goulash is prepared simply and quickly. I started by frying the onions and garlic, then added meat to them, and simmered it under the lid for 20 minutes. After that, I put potatoes and carrots in a frying pan, poured water over the meat and vegetables to cover them halfway, and cooked under the lid for another 15 minutes. Lastly, I added the tomato, tomato paste and bay leaf and left to simmer for 15 minutes. It turned out very bright and satisfying! Thank you very much for the recipe!
