Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons salt divided
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper divided
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 cups onion chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon paprika sweet
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups red wine
- 4 cups beef broth
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds dried
- 2 teaspoons marjoram ground
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- 2 bay leaf
- 3 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 2 medium carrot peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Season the Beef: Season the beef cubes with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Sear the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Cook the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the onions and cook until they are soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add Spices and Flour: Stir in the sweet paprika and all-purpose flour, cooking for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let the wine reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the seared beef back to the pot. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, caraway seeds, ground marjoram, dried thyme, bay leaves, and the remaining salt and pepper.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 1.5 hours.
- Add Carrots and Parsley: Add the carrots and continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the beef and carrots are tender.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the bay leaves and stir in the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve: Ladle the goulash soup into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.
Notes
- Sear the Meat: Don’t skip searing the beef cubes until they are well-browned. This step adds a depth of flavor to the soup.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh onions, garlic, and parsley enhance the overall taste and aroma.
- Low and Slow: Cook the soup slowly over low heat to allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
- Deglaze Properly: Make sure to scrape all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan when adding the red wine. These bits add rich flavor to the soup.
