Goulash Ingredients

Method

Goulash Preparation

1

Sear the Beef

In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. Add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

3

Spice it Up

Stir in the sweet paprika, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

4

Build the Goulash Base

Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, diced bell pepper, and sliced carrots. Stir to combine.

5

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

6

Prepare Spätzle

Prepare house spätzle according to your chosen recipe or package instructions while the goulash simmers.

7

Serve

Once the goulash is thick and the beef is tender, serve hot over spätzle, garnished with fried onions and fresh vegetables.
