Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients. Cube the beef, chop the onions, mince the garlic, dice the bell pepper, slice the carrots, and dice the potatoes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Brown the Beef

    Add the cubed beef to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the paprika and caraway seeds, mixing well.

  4. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Goulash

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld together.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve hot, preferably with crusty bread or over egg noodles.
