Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 pounds beef chuck, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
- 2 units bay leaves
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the beef chuck pieces in batches and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the browned beef and set aside.
In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the paprika and tomato paste, stirring to coat the onions and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the flavors.
Pour in the beef broth and canned diced tomatoes, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the seared beef back into the pot along with the bay leaves, red bell pepper, carrots, and potatoes. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the goulash simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove and discard the bay leaves. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
