Ingredients

For the Goulash:
  • 2 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion large, sliced
  • 1-2 garlic cloves fresh, chopped
  • 1 Pound beef cubed
  • 1 Cup table cream or heavy cream
  • ¼ Cup tomato sauce
  • 1 Cup beef broth
  • 1 medium bay leaf
  • 5 juniper berries Optional but adds a lot of flavor!

  • ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground
  • parsley to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat up your Dutch oven and stir in your butter and onion slices. Sauté onion slices in the butter until they soften a bit over a medium heat setting.
  2. Add the chopped garlic and briefly cook along.
  3. Stir in the beef cubes and brown them a bit all over while controlling the heat setting.
  4. Reduce the heat a bit and pour in the cream, tomato sauce and beef broth.
  5. Add to that all the seasoning. The bay leaf, juniper berries, paprika, and caraway seeds. Also season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Mix everything well in the Dutch oven.
  7. Keep the heat on a medium to low setting and cover the dish.
  8. Cook the beef until it's completely cooked through and tender. Check once in a while the progress of the meat. It can take 1–2 hours until the meat is tender cooked. The cooking time depends on the meat quality. The beef goulash in the pictures took about 1 ½ hours to cook tender.
  9. Once the meat is soft and falling off, uncover the dish and continue to cook down the sauce to the desired consistency.
  10. Take from the heat. Remove the bay leaf and juniper berries and discard.
  11. Serve your beef goulash hot with freshly chopped parsley as a garnish.
