Beef Goulash
Serves 6
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef4 medium onions , diced
1 red bell pepper , diced
2 carrots , diced
4 tomatoes , diced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons ground paprika
3 cups beef stock base
1. Preheat the oven to 325∞ F / 170∞ C.
2. Brown the ground beef in 4 - 5 batches. If you attempt to brown it all at once, you will land up with a gray, watery mass. Keep aside.
3. Brown the onions until they are a deep caramel color. This helps to give the dish flavor.
4. Add the pepper and carrots and fry for about 3 minutes.
5. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and ground paprika. Add back the ground beef. Finally, add the stock - you may not need to add all of it now, depending on how "wet" your mixture is.
6. Place a lid on the casserole dish. Bake for about 1Ω hours, stirring every half an hour. Add more stock if necessary and scrape down the sides of the casserole dish.
7. Serve with pasta and a big salad.
