How to Make Beef Goulash With Light Czech Dumplings
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a deep Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized (about 15-20 minutes).
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 teaspoon of ground toasted caraway seeds. Cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon marjoram, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Deglaze the pan with 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and 2 cups of beef broth. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef (or 1.5 lbs stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the beef is very tender, stirring occasionally.
- While the stew simmers, prepare the dumplings: Sift together 1 cup cake flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
- Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- During the last 15 minutes of the stew's cooking time, drop the dumpling batter by teaspoonfuls into the simmering stew.
- Cover the Dutch oven and cook for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid!
- Test a dumpling with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the dumplings are ready. If not, cook for a few more minutes, covered.
- Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your bájený komfort potravin!
