Ingredients
- 1 kilo 2 lbs. stewing beef, cut into cubes
- 500 g 1 lb. onions, chopped
- oil lard or rendered beef fat
- salt and pepper
- Hungarian paprika to taste
- beef broth enough to cover the meat
- 1-2 Tbs. tomato paste
- A pinch of caraway seeds
- a sprig of fresh marjoram or thyme
- A spoonful of flour mixed with some water
Instructions
- Add enough cooking fat to cover the bottom of a Dutch oven or braiser. Brown the beef cubes nicely in the fat on all sides and set aside.
- Now add the onions and gently sweat them in the same pan until they are nicely soft and browned, but not burnt. Season with salt and pepper as you go. Add back the browned meat and mix well. Allow the meat and onions to simmer together for a few minutes, then sprinkle over the paprika. Most recipes call for 1-2 tablespoons, but I just 'eyeball' it, and I'm pretty sure I add more than just a spoonful, as I love the taste of paprika. You then allow the paprika to simmer in the fat to release its full aroma, again for just a minute or two. Paprika can burn if heated too much, so moderate your heat as needed.
- Add enough beef broth to just cover the meat, along with the tomato paste, caraway and marjoram. Cover and simmer it all gently until the meat is quite tender, usually about two hours. This can be done over the stove or, if you prefer, in a moderate (180C/350F) oven.
- Just before serving, add your flour and water slurry to the pan, a spoonful or two at a time, to give the sauce a nice liaison. If, on the other hand, you find that your sauce is too thick or there is simply not enough of it, add some water.
- Serve your Viennese goulash warm, with buttered noodles, spätle or Knödel (bread dumplings).
