Categories     Main Course

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds beef chuck or shank ((900 g))
1.1/2 pounds onion ((675 g))
4 Tablespoons vegetable oil (sunflower or Canola / pork lard)
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (crushed or ground)
2 Tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika (ground + optionally 1 tsp hot paprika powder)
4 bay leaves
1 tsp dried marjoram
4 cloves garlic (peeled, crushed)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
salt
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour (to thicken the goulash, optional)
4 cups water ((720 ml) or beef stock )

Steps:

  • Peel the onion and chop it roughly. Cut the beef into 1-1.½-inch pieces.
  • Melt the lard or vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a pot with a thick bottom (I use a heavy iron cast Dutch oven). Fry onions until almost brown. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Finally, add the crushed caraway seeds and stir for another minute.
  • Add beef chunks, season with salt, and fry them from all sides until a golden brown crust is created. Expect the meat releases some juices when fried. Stir frequently, and scrape off the burnt residue on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spatula. If necessary, reduce the heat or add a spoon or two of water.
  • Turn the stove on medium heat, and add ground pepper, sweet paprika, and tomato paste. Fry for 1 minute while stirring. The base can't get burnt, or else the goulash will taste bitter. Add 1-2 spoons of water to prevent burning.
  • Pour in water, so the meat is almost covered. Add bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a minimum, cover with a lid and allow the beef to simmer for 2-2.5 hours or until soft.
  • Check the goulash from time to time. Add some water if the level of liquid in the pot falls. When the gulas contains too much water, cook it uncovered at the end. The liquid will be reduced, and the gulas will gain a richer flavor and a nice red color. Stir occasionally.
  • When the beef cubes are soft, add flour to thicken the stew. In the next step, I'll provide a helpful method for making the stew sauce smoother and more cohesive.
  • Thickening of goulash with flour (optional): Take off the pot's lid. Using a small sieve, carefully dust the surface of the stew with a tablespoon of flour. Do not stir. Cover with the lid and leave to cook for a further 15 minutes. Remove the lid and stir. The sauce will be just thick enough!
  • Remove bay leaves, add crushed garlic and dried marjoram, and stir. Season with salt to your liking. Cover with a lid and let it rest off heat for 10 minutes.

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

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds lean ground beef

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality beef chuck roast. Grass-fed and organic beef are excellent choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when browning the beef. If necessary, brown the beef in batches.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for the goulash. This will help prevent the goulash from burning.
  • Simmer the goulash for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the goulash with bread dumplings, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
  • For the bread dumplings, use stale bread. This will help the dumplings hold their shape.
  • Grate the bread on the large holes of a box grater. This will create a coarse crumb that is perfect for the dumplings.
  • Don't overmix the bread dumpling dough. Overmixing will make the dumplings tough.
  • Poach the bread dumplings in simmering water until they are cooked through. This will take about 10 minutes.

Conclusion:

Goulash is a hearty and flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is braised until it is fall-apart tender, and the vegetables add a delicious sweetness. The bread dumplings are a classic accompaniment to goulash, and they help to soak up all of the delicious sauce. This recipe is easy to follow, and it is sure to become a family favorite.
