Authentic German Goulash Hearty and Comforting Meal

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 bell peppers chopped (one red, one green)
• 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 1 Prise salt (to taste)
• 1 Prise fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
2. Add the beef cubes in batches, searing them until they are browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Add the bell peppers and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until they soften.
6. Return the browned beef to the pot and sprinkle in the paprika, caraway seeds, marjoram, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the beef and veggies in the spices.
7. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 90 minutes.
8. After 90 minutes, add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the pot. Cook uncovered for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is fork-tender.
9. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as necessary.
10. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
