How to Make Authentic Viennese Goulash Wiener Fiakergulasch
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized and dark brown, about 20-30 minutes. This is key to the rich color and flavor of the goulash!
- Add the beef cubes to the pot and cook until browned on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the paprika (be careful not to burn it!), flour, and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the beef broth, carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic, bay leaves, and marjoram. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is very tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with Kaiser rolls or Semmelknodel and a pickle garnish. Enjoy your authentic Viennese Goulash!
