• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 carrot
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Trim any visible fat from the beef stew meat and cut it into bite-sized cubes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the onions and mince the garlic. Add them to the pot, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onions are softened.

Step 4

Chop the red bell pepper and carrot into small pieces. Add them to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, mixing well for a minute to coat the vegetables.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour the beef broth into the pot, ensuring it covers the ingredients.

Step 7

Add the bay leaf, paprika, caraway seeds, marjoram, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the flavors.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Step 9

To thicken the goulash, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir it into the pot and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 10

Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve the goulash hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
