Warm Up with a Hearty Hungarian Beef Goulash Stew

As the weather cools down, cuddle up with a bowl of comforting Hungarian Goulash! This slow-cooked beef stew simmers in a rich paprika broth, bursting with flavour and vibrant colour. It's like a classic beef stew with a bold Hungarian twist.

Ingredients
  • 1 kilogram beef chuck (Cut in 3.5 cm cubes)
  • 1 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 30 grams unsalted butter
  • 2 brown onions (cut into 1 cm squares)
  • 5 garlic cloves (finely minced)
  • 2 bell peppers (1 red + 1 yellow cut into 2 cm squares)
  • 2 tomatoes (cut into 8 wedges then in half)
  • 30 grams Hungarian-style paprika
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds ((optional))
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1000 milliliters beef stock/broth (low-sodium)
  • 2 carrots (peeled, cut in quarters lengthwise then into 1cm pieces)
  • 2 potatoes (cut into 1.2cm cubes)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
Instructions
    Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan), though you can use your slow cooker or stove instead
  1. Season beef – Toss the beef with half the salt and pepper.
  2. Cook onion – Heat the oil and melt the butter in a large oven-proof dutch oven over high heat. Cook onion for 6 minutes until the edges are light golden.
  3. Cook beef – Add the beef and stir until the outside changes from red to brown, about 2 minutes. It won't go golden brown, it's not supposed to.
  4. Add vegetables – Add garlic, capsicum and tomato. Stir for 3 minutes – the tomato will mostly breakdown.
  5. Add paprika, caraway and bay leaf. Stir for 30 seconds.
  6. Slow cook – Add beef stock, stir, bring to simmer. Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven for 1 1/2 hours.
  7. Add potato – The beef should be pretty tender but not quite "fall-apart". Stir in carrot and potatoes. Return to oven, covered, for another 30 minutes. Beef should now be "fall-apart" – if not, return to the oven for 10 minutes at a time.
  8. Serve – Ladle goulash into bowls and sprinkle with parsley. Eat as is, with optional bread for dunking! (Pictured with cheese bread)
