Elkészítési Lépések
1
Dice the beef into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. This helps achieve a good sear.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3
In the same pot, add the diced onions and cook until soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Add minced garlic and paprika powder, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to release their aroma.
5
Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for another minute before deglazing the pot with a ladle of beef stock.
6
Return the seared beef to the pot, along with the carrots, potatoes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
7
Pour in the remaining beef stock, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours.
8
Stir occasionally and check the liquid level, adding more stock if necessary. The goulash is ready when the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
9
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by crusty bread or noodles.
