Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium, diced Onions
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 3 tablespoons Ground paprika
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 medium, chopped Bell peppers
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck into 1- to 1.5-inch cubes, trimming most of the visible fat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the beef cubes in batches to the pot, searing them on all sides until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onions. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and caraway seeds to the pot, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the ground paprika and tomato paste, cooking briefly to enhance the flavors, approximately 1 minute.

Step 7

Return the seared beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Add the chopped bell peppers, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf to the pot.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, covering the pot.

Step 10

Allow the gulasch to simmer gently for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 11

Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Serve the gulasch hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh parsley.
