Best 4 Lili Deutschs Hungarian Veal Goulash Recipes

LILI DEUTSCH'S HUNGARIAN VEAL GOULASH RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; saute until lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in paprika. Rinse veal with water; pat dry. Return Dutch oven to heat, add veal, salt and pepper, and saute until meat is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add parsley, marjoram, carrots, celery, peppers, tomato sauce, wine and stock. Place cover on pot, place in oven, lower temperature to 375 degrees. Bake for 2 hours or until meat is fork tender. If gravy seems too thick, add boiling water, a little at a time. Or you can bake it in a slow oven (250 degrees) overnight, which yields a moist, delicious flavor. (According to Weisel this tastes better when made in advance and reheated.) Serve with noodles, rice, or couscous, and Hadassah's favorites, cabbage and baked sweet potatoes. Serves 10.

VIENNESE GOULASH (WIENER RINDSGULASCH)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot and brown the beef cubes.
• Add the onions and cook them with the meat until they are transparent or have a shiny appearance, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste, paprika and the rest of the seasonings and stir well.
• Add the stock and stir well again.
• Add a little salt and pepper - it is best to use less salt during the cooking process and correct the seasoning when the meat is cooked to avoid over-seasoning.
• Bring the whole pot to a boil then turn to low or medium-low and let the goulash cook slowly until the meat is tender, 2-4 hours, depending on cut of meat used. The onions are the thickening agent, so if the liquid evaporates, just add extra water a little at a time to avoid a thin goulash (I added about 1 cup additional water in two additions over the entire cooking time).
