Hungarian Goulash

A hearty / manly treat for a big guys' bash... Double recipe for a large crowd

  • 2 pounds beef shin, large dice
  • 1 / 2 cup Hungarian paprika (fine-sweet)
  • 2 large onions, diced thickly
  • 1 heads garlic, peeled and minced
  • 4 each Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced (90 ct, 8 oz each)
  • 2.5 quarts beef or chicken stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • Cut beef into 1-inch squares, add 1/2 tsp. salt. Chop onions and brown in oil, add beef and paprika. Let beef simmer in its own juice along with salt and paprika for 1 hr. on low heat. Add stock, simmer until nearly tender. Add diced potatoes and remaining salt. Cover and simmer until potatoes are done and meat is completely tender.

    A tablespoon of flour with water may be added to thicken into stew and sour cream may be added although not traditional. At first flavors may seem off... but after simmering for a few hours they marry together.

    Serve with boiled cabbage or roasted cauliflower and fresh bread.
