Bayrisches Rindergulasch (bavarian Beef Stroganoff)

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook until they are soft and golden brown.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and red wine, and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, and caraway seeds. Return the beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let the goulash simmer for 1.5-2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  7. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the goulash hot with buttered noodles or crusty bread.
