How to Make Beef Goulash Extraordinaire
- Season 2 lbs beef stew meat generously with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or pot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove beef and set aside.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot. Sauté in 2 tablespoons butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and 1 red bell pepper, chopped and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, 1 teaspoon marjoram, 1 bay leaf, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 2 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Return the beef to the pot.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender. Stir occasionally.
- If desired, thicken the gravy by mixing 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the goulash and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.
- Serve hot over buttered egg noodles and alongside steamed, buttered carrots.
