Mom’s goulash
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 20 minutes
Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef almost all cuts work - I often use a cheep roast
- 1 small can tomato paste 70 g
- 200 grams onion coarsely chopped
- 35 grams butter
- 600 grams Potatoes raw and diced
- 1 liter beef broth
- 2 red peppers diced. Optional
- 100 grams garlic cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons good paprika optimally edelsüss paprika. Not the old stuff off the shelf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper
- Flutes baguette or home made bread
- Creme fraiche or sour cream
Instructions
-
Brown meat and onions in the butter in the pot you want to make goulash in.
-
Pour the broth in and add all other ingredients except potatoes and cream cheese.
-
Let it cook. If you used a cheap cut so simmer until meat is tender - I will often let it cook all afternoon. If you have used expensive tender goulash meat should be ok to just cook the meat with potatoes - the meat will be tender.
-
When the meat is tender add potatoes and cream cheese.
-
Season to taste with salt, pepper and more paprika - it should be spicy.
-
Cook until the potatoes are tender. It should take about 15-20 minutes.
-
Server your goulash with lots of crème fraîche, bread and a good beer.
