Goulash is a delicious dish originating from Eastern Europe, perfect for a cold winter’s day.

  • Olive oil, 2 tablespoon(s)
  • Beef chuck steak, lean, raw, 800 g, trimmed of fat, cut into 3cm pieces
  • Onion, any type, 2 medium, sliced
  • Red capsicum, 1 capsicum(s), seeded and chopped
  • Garlic, 2 clove(s), crushed
  • Paprika, smoked, 1 tablespoon(s), sweet
  • Dried caraway seeds, 1 teaspoon(s)
  • Tomato paste, no added salt, 2 tablespoon(s)
  • Thyme, fresh, 3 sprig(s)
  • Beef liquid stock, salt-reduced, 1 litre(s)
  • Plain flour, white, 1 tablespoon(s)

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over high heat and brown the beef in batches. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add the onion, capsicum and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in the paprika, caraway seeds and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add the thyme and stock. Return the beef to the pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1½ hours or until the beef is tender.
  3. Blend the flour with a little water and add gradually to the pan, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened. Serve the goulash with rice, barley, mashed potato or pasta noodles from your daily bread allowance and steamed green vegetables.
