Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces large onions, finely chopped
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 piece bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 4 cups beef broth
• 4 pieces white potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the beef cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside after each batch.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste, stirring well to coat the vegetables.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the paprika and caraway seeds, stirring continuously to prevent burning, for about 1 minute.

Step 7

Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaves.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Allow the gulasch to simmer gently for about 1 hour.

Step 9

After an hour, add the diced potatoes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 10

Continue to simmer for another hour, or until the beef and potatoes are tender.

Step 11

Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
