Ingredients

800g beef (e.g. shoulder or shank), cut into cubes
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
250ml beef stock
150ml red wine
2 tsp paprika powder (sweet)
1 tsp caraway
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot and sear the beef cubes vigorously until well browned on all sides.

Add the onions and garlic and keep cooking over medium heat until the onions are translucent.

Stir in the tomato paste and roast briefly, then deglaze with red wine and add the beef stock.

Add the paprika powder, caraway, bay leaf as well as salt and pepper to the pot and stir well.

Put the lid on the pot and braise the goulash over low heat for about 2 hours until the meat is tender.

Stir the goulash occasionally and add a little more liquid if it thickens too much.

💡 Let the goulash rest in the fridge overnight to intensify the flavor.
