How to Make Beef Paprika Stew Viennese Style Gulash

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1.5 lbs beef stew meat in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the beef and set aside.
2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 carrots, chopped, to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 2 tbsp Hungarian paprika powder. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
4. Return the beef to the pot. Add 4 cups beef broth, 1 cup red wine (optional), 1 tsp caraway seeds, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is very tender.
6. Remove the bay leaf. If desired, thicken the stew by mixing 1 tbsp all-purpose flour with 2 tbsp cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew and simmer for 5 more minutes, or until thickened.
7. Serve hot with your choice of dumplings, potatoes, spaetzle, frankfurters, or bread. Enjoy!
