Beef Goulash With Light Czech Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• For the goulash: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is shimmering, sear the beef all over in batches until deep brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the onions and cook, scraping up any meat bits from the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, garlic and a pinch of salt and saute until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika, tomato paste and caraway and stir to combine; cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef back to the pan, then add the broth, chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the beef is tender and can be broken down with a spoon but still maintains its shape, about 2 hours.
• For the bread dumplings: Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, cheese and scallions to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Mix in the flour mixture. Let the dumpling mixture sit for 15 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a 1/3-cup ice cream scoop, form firmly packed balls of the dumpling mixture. Add them to the pot and boil until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Spoon the goulash into bowls and add a dumpling or two to each. Top with chopped parsley or scallions if desired.

Steps:

• In a deep dutch oven, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions and sugar until caramelized. Add the garlic and ground toasted caraway seed. Cook another minute.
• Add the sweet and spicy paprika, marjoram, thyme and bay leaf. Sauté another minute, until fragrant.
• Add the tomato paste. Deglaze with the vinegar and the stock and add the pieces of beef, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
• Cover and cook until very tender, about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To prepare the dumplings:.
• Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Combine with the milk and melted butter, mixing lightly.
• After the stew has cooked until tender, the last 15 mins, drop the dumpling batter by (heaping) teaspoonfuls into the simmering stew.
• Cover and cook for 15 minutes, then test the dumpling with a toothpick - if comes out clean, dumplings are ready.
• Once you have covered the pan, DO NOT UNCOVER while the dumplings are cooking! In order for them to be light and fluffy, they must steam. If you uncover the pan, the steam will escape and the dumplings will boil instead.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook and stir the ground beef in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up as it cooks, until the meat is no longer pink and has started to brown, about 10 minutes. Skim off excess fat, and stir in the onions and garlic. Cook and stir the meat mixture until the onions are translucent, about 10 more minutes.
• Stir water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, and seasoned salt into the meat mixture and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir macaroni into the mixture, cover, and simmer over low heat until the pasta is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Add onion and cook over low heat until lightly yellowed.
• Add paprika and blend well. Add meat, green pepper, salt, and water.
• Cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Add more water if desired, although mixture should not be overly soupy when finished cooking.
• Serve over hot boiled potatoes or topped with dumplings. (I use Recipe#171228).

Steps:

• Warm the oil in the stock pot over medium heat.
• Add the onions and the garlic, stirring for about five minutes.
• Add the beef, and cook until mostly brown (it'll continue to cook in the stew).
• When the meat is mostly brown, add the can of tomatoes, the paprika, the water, and cubes of beef bouillon (I suggest crumbling it before hand).
• Cover and increase heat until it boils.
• When it boils, decrease heat to a simmer, cover, and let simmer for 1.5-2 hours.
• Add the bell peppers and potatoes.
• Let the stew continue to simmer for 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Add the milk, and stir thoroughly.
• Flour your hands and roll the dough into half-inch balls. It will be sticky!
• Drop the balls into the simmering stew, and wait until they rise to the surface.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Season beef with salt and black pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat; cook and stir beef in hot oil in batches until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a large stockpot and reserve drippings in the skillet.
• Return skillet to medium heat; stir onions into the reserved drippings, drizzle olive oil over onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the stockpot with beef.
• Combine paprika, caraway seeds, black pepper, marjoram, thyme, and cayenne pepper in the skillet and toast over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth and stir; transfer to the beef and onion mixture.
• Stir 3 cups chicken broth into beef mixture. Add tomato paste, garlic, vinegar, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bay leaf; place stockpot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until a fork inserts easily into the meat, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
