how to make hungarian goulash

In a suitable bowl add enough flour to dredge the beef in. Now its up to you what you season the flour with but at this stage I use Paprika, Salt, Cayenne Pepper and Black Pepper. Mix it into the flour then coat all your beef, remove each piece to another bowl.

Heat oil in a heavy bottomed, deep, stockpot.

Add chopped onion and Paprika, fry until onion softens

Add your beef. I purposely haven't specified an amount as its up to you. I normally use about 1kg myself

Add chopped tomatoes and water, this will help remove any flour that's stuck at the bottom of the pan. Dont add so much water it becomes Too runny though, you can add more during the cooking process.

Add ALL other ingredients

Transfer to oven at a medium heat or better still a slow cooker

Taste and stir regularly, I normally have mine in the oven at approx 160°F for 6 hours!!!!

Serve with fresh bread
