Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons pork lard (, or butter or bacon grease (pork lard is traditionally used and imparts a great flavor))
1 1/2 pounds yellow onions (chopped)
1/4 cup quality genuine imported Hungarian sweet paprika
1 1/2 pounds stewing beef ( , cut into 1/2 inch pieces )
5 cloves garlic (,minced)
2 red bell peppers (,seeded/membranes removed, cut into 1/2 inch chunks)
1 yellow bell pepper (,seeded/membranes removed, cut into 1/2 inch chunks)
2 tomatoes (,diced)

Steps:

  • Melt the pork lard or butter/oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy soup pot over medium high heat and cook the onions until beginning to brown, about 7-10 minutes.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH I



Hungarian Goulash I image

A spicy way to dress up stew beef. My mom made this when we were kids, and we loved it. It is spicy while not mouth-burning! Can be made with cheaper cuts of beef, and comes out very tender. If it gets too thick, add a little water while it's cooking. Garnish with sour cream.

  • When choosing beef for goulash, look for a cut that is well-marbled with fat, such as chuck roast or short ribs. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Be sure to brown the beef well before adding it to the stew. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your goulash. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the dish. Some good choices include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and bell peppers.
  • Season your goulash well with salt, pepper, and paprika. Paprika is a key ingredient in Hungarian goulash, and it gives the dish its characteristic flavor.
  • Simmer the goulash for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve goulash with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also garnish it with sour cream, chopped parsley, or grated Parmesan cheese.
