This easy and incredible goulash is hearty and comforting. I spent many a night perfecting this recipe until it was just right. Needless to say, I had many willing taste testers. I do not recommend adding potatoes to this recipe to thicken it, as even the smoothest mashed potatoes make it gritty. If you really feel you would like the gravy thicker, add a loose paste of flour and water and cook until thickened. Serve with buttered egg noodles and steamed, buttered carrots. Ingredients:
3 lbs stewing beef (chuck) |
3 tablespoons butter (more if you like) |
12 ounces mushrooms, halved (optional) |
2 large onions, chopped |
1/3 bell pepper, chopped fine |
14 ounces of redpack plain crushed tomatoes |
1 teaspoon dried celery flakes |
3/4 cup home-made beef gravy or 3/4 cup jarred beef gravy |
1 teaspoon sea salt |
2 teaspoons sweet hungarian paprika |
Directions:
1. Sauté beef in butter until browned (browned, not just cooked) on high heat.
2. Add more butter if desired and sauté vegetables until tender.
3. Add other ingredients and cook on medium high heat for five minutes.
4. Lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 2 hours.
