THE BEST BEEF GOULASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Chop onions and garlic, heat the clarified butter in a dutch oven or a big pot and fry on low heat for about 10 minutes. Now, turn down the heat and puree the onion-garlic mix with an immersion blender. Add the tomato paste and turn the heat up again. Roast the tomato-onion-puree for about 2 minutes, then add the wine and let reduce.
• Add all the spices and the vinegar as well as 100 ml of beef broth. Turn heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Now add the meat. The beef should be just barely covered with liquid. If you are lacking liquid, you can add more broth at this point.
• Cover the pot with a lid an let the Viennese Beef Goulash simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours until the meat is tender and the sauce nice and thick. Season with salt to taste.
• Serve with potatoes and a green salad.

AUSTRIAN GOULASH

Steps:

• You will need a large Dutch oven with a lid for best results. Add just enough olive oil to coat the pan and turn the heat high enough to make the oil shimmer, but not smoke.
• Pat the meat dry and dredge in flour, seasoned with kosher salt & cracked pepper.
• Add one piece of meat to the hot oil to make sure that it sizzles. Add the remaining meat, without crowding the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side. You want a golden crust that will give the gravy great flavor.
• Cook the meat in batches, if necessary and set aside in a bowl-- to collect the juice.
• When all the meat is seared, turn the heat to medium and add a little more olive oil to the pan and cook the onion until tender-- 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced garlic and cook till fragrant-- 30 seconds or so.
• Add the tomato paste and paprika, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the tomato sauce, caraway seeds, lemon zest and chicken stock and stir well.
• Bring to a simmer for about 15 minutes and taste for seasoning. Adjust as necessary. If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more chicken stock or water until it is the consistency of a gravy.
• Simmer for 2 hours, or you can use a slow cooker for 4-6 hours.
• This stew tastes even better if made one day in advance. Serve or buttered egg noodles or spaetzle or Bavarian Bread Dumplings "Semmel Knoedel", which is posted on my blog:.
