Yield 6-8 people

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lb. lean beef stew meat, cut into bite sized pieces
3 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
2 large onions, thinly sliced
6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups beef broth
2 6-oz cans tomato paste
2 Tbsp Hungarian paprika (sweet or hot depending on how you like the heat. I like to use smoked paprika for a nice twist!)
2 tsp finely shredded fresh lemon peel
1 tsp salt
1 tsp caraway seed
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 bay leaves
1 red or green bell pepper, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup dry red wine
Hot, cooked egg noodles cooked to package directions
Sour cream or yogurt for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large slow cooker crock, combine meat, carrots, onions and garlic. In another mixing bowl, combine beef broth, tomato paste, paprika, lemon zest, salt , caraway seed, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. Stir into the meat and vegetable mixture, and add the bay leaves. (You can do this part the night before you cook it, and just put it in the refrigerator) Cover the crock, and cook on low-heat setting for 8-10 hours. You really can't over-do it. Everything will be nice and tender. About 30 minutes before serving, turn the heat to the high setting. Stir in the sweet pepper strips and the red wine. Cover and cook for 30 minutes more. Taste and adjust seasoning. Discard the bay leaves. Serve over hot buttered noodles with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF GOULASH



Slow-cooker beef goulash image

With fall-apart beef, tomatoes and peppers in a creamy, rich stew, our slow-cooker goulash recipe couldn't be easier or more comforting

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Main course, Supper

Time 7h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tbsp olive oil
2kg braising or stewing steak, cut into chunks
2 large onions, finely chopped
4 mixed peppers, cut into 4cm chunks
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp flour
2 tsp caraway seeds
2 tsp hot smoked paprika
1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika, plus extra to serve
4 tbsp tomato purée
4 large tomatoes cut into small chunks
400-500ml beef stock
300ml soured cream
small bunch of parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the slow cooker to low and heat 2 tbsp oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat. Season and sear the beef in batches until brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
  • Put the remaining oil in the pan and fry the onions for 10 mins until lightly golden. Add the peppers and garlic, and fry for another 5-10 mins, then stir in the flour and all of the spices. Cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the tomato purée, tomatoes and 400ml beef stock. Season well. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then tip into the slow cooker with the seared beef. Add the remaining stock, if needed, to cover the meat completely. Cover and cook for 6-7 hrs until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Season to taste, then swirl the soured cream and most of the parsley through the stew. Scatter over the remaining parsley and some sweet smoked paprika, then serve with small roasted potatoes or brown rice, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven to cook the goulash. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent scorching.
  • Add paprika, caraway seeds, and other spices to the goulash for a rich, flavorful broth.
  • Simmer the goulash for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the goulash over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked Hungarian goulash is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is tender and fall-apart, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve it over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
