Categories     Roast Beef

Time 2h40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 -3 lbs boneless chuck roast, cut into 1-inch chunks
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
4 medium sweet onions, sliced and separated into rings
8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms or 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, brushed clean and cut in half
1 head garlic, peeled, large cloves cut in half (about 12 cloves)
1/2 cup sweet red wine
1 3/4 cups beef broth
1/4 cup sweet Hungarian paprika (see Note)
1 cup sour cream
4 cups cooked noodles, buttered, with chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Place beef chunks in a large bowl. Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Toss with the flour.
  • Heat a heavy Dutch oven over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Place beef chunks in a single layer and brown on two sides. You will probably need to do this in batches. Do not crowd the meat or it will boil instead of brown. Remove browned beef chunks to a bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. To the drippings in the Dutch oven, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sweet onion rings, mushrooms, and garlic. Toss to coat with the olive oil. Cover tightly and sweat the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until onions are limp but not browned and mushrooms are releasing their liquid, about 10 minutes.
  • Add red wine to the vegetables and cook 2 minutes. Add beef broth and paprika. Return beef to the pan. Stir until well-combined. Cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer on low heat for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until beef is fork-tender.
  • Remove Dutch oven from heat and wait for boiling to subside. Taste and add additional salt if necessary. Stir in sour cream until completely incorporated into the gravy.
  • Serve Hungarian gulash over hot buttered noodles with chopped parsley.
  • Note: The amount of paprika is correct. Please do use it all. If you cannot use the wine, use an equal amount of additional beef broth. The goulash may be frozen, before the addition of the sour cream. Reheat and add the sour cream just before serving.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH SOUP



Hungarian Goulash Soup image

I taught with the Defense Department in Germany (and met my husband, an Air Force pilot, there). Goulash soup was one of the first foods I tried overseas...I pieced this recipe together once I got back home. I make it often-with two little boys, 3 and 1, it's nice knowing that dinner is "under control"!

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use beef chuck roast or short ribs instead of stew meat.
  • Brown the meat in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to accommodate all the ingredients.
  • Add the paprika in two batches: once at the beginning of the cooking process and again at the end. This will help to develop the flavor of the paprika.
  • Don't be afraid to add more or less paprika to taste. Goulash should have a slightly spicy flavor.
  • Serve goulash with a dollop of sour cream and some crusty bread or egg noodles.

Conclusion:

Hungarian goulash soup is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also relatively easy to make, and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give Hungarian goulash soup a try.
