Goulash Recipe
- 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable or other neutral-flavored cooking oil
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup ketchup or tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons smoked or sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup water or beef stock, plus more as needed
- Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a large plate or shallow, wide glass dish. Cover meat in a light dusting of flour mixture.
- Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear meat on all sides until brown and slightly caramelized. Add additional oil as needed. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add sliced onions to pan and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until translucent, scraping up brown bits as you go.
- While onions are cooking, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, spices, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and 1 cup water or stock in a small bowl. Add this sauce to pan with onions and simmer 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add seared meat back to the pan, lower heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until meat is tender. Add more water or stock as needed.
- Serve with egg noodles or rice.
