Goulash And Potato 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:

• 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!
