Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 carrots, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
4 cups beef broth
One 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
12 ounces stale bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 ounces Gruyere or Swiss cheese, shredded
3 scallions, finely chopped
Chopped fresh parsley or scallions, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • For the goulash: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is shimmering, sear the beef all over in batches until deep brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the onions and cook, scraping up any meat bits from the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, garlic and a pinch of salt and saute until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika, tomato paste and caraway and stir to combine; cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef back to the pan, then add the broth, chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the beef is tender and can be broken down with a spoon but still maintains its shape, about 2 hours.
  • For the bread dumplings: Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, cheese and scallions to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Mix in the flour mixture. Let the dumpling mixture sit for 15 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a 1/3-cup ice cream scoop, form firmly packed balls of the dumpling mixture. Add them to the pot and boil until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Spoon the goulash into bowls and add a dumpling or two to each. Top with chopped parsley or scallions if desired.

SEMMELKNOEDEL A.K.A. GERMAN BREAD DUMPLINGS WITH GOULASH SOUP RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Semmelknoedel a.k.a. German Bread Dumplings with Goulash Soup Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 25

Note: This recipe makes half as many as shown in images.
FOR THE Semmelknoedel
8 cups cubed old bread
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1 stalk finely diced celery
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter (melted)
2 Tbsp. dried Parsley
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Pot of boiling water.
FOR GOULASH SOUP
Authentic Hungarian Goulash
1-2 lbs. chuck or arm roast, cut into 1″ cubes (for a shortcut, buy prepackaged stew meat)
1 large onion, diced finely
1 stick butter
1 tbsp. smoky Hungarian paprika
1 cup of your favorite red wine
1 cup V8 Juice
2-4 cups of Water
1 small can of tomato paste
1 heaping tsp jarred minced garlic (or 3 cloves crushed)
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: Cornstarch slurry
(boiled potatoes), or spaetzle.

Steps:

  • FOR NOODLES: Put cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. In a small saute pan, saute onions, celery until tender, let cool. In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs and whisk in melted butter, onions, celery, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture over the bread. Mix and mash with your hands until every single cube of bread is evenly moist. Remove any pieces that are still dry. You might want to add a little chicken stock to ensure bread is moistened. Form into tightly-packed billiards-sized balls. They'll plump up to the size of tennis balls while cooking. Cover with a clean towel and let sit for 1 hour Fill a pot (large enough to accommodate the number of balls you plan to make) about 1/2 way to 2/3 with water and chicken stock bring to boil. Using a spoon, set dumplings into the boiling water. Once they're all in, let cook for 20 minutes. If making a double or quadruple batch, let cook for 30 minutes. Remove from water with slotted spoon and place on a serving dish Drain off excess water before serving. Another meal idea: Drop one in a bowl of chicken broth for a delicious Semmelknoedelsuppe similar to Jewish matzo ball soup. ☕ FOR SOUP: Melt the butter on medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or stew pot then brown the meat in batches. Transfer meat to a dish and set aside. Saute diced onion in the same pot until it begins to caramelize. Stir in paprika and cook for a minute or two. Add wine and meat. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid is gone. Add water just to cover meat. Stir in tomato paste, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer over very low heat for 90 minutes. For a thicker gravy: Corn starch slurry = 2 heaping tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in 1 cup cold water. Stir into boiling sauce at the very end of cooking. Turn down to simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve over semmelknoedel (German bread dumplings), egg noodles such as Reames, salzkartoffeln
