Enjoy a cozy, heartwarming adventure with Hungarian goulash. This recipe brings to life tender beef chuck stewed gently with onions, garlic, tomato paste, and sweet paprika for a subtle kick, making it the ultimate comfort dish.
Warm up some oil in a big pot or Dutch oven on medium heat. Gently sauté onions until they soften up, about 2 to 4 minutes. Take the onions out and keep them aside.
Mix paprika, 2 teaspoons of salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss the beef cubes in the spice mix, and sauté in the pot with onions until they're beautifully browned on every side.
Blend the onions back with beef in the pot; add water, tomato paste, garlic, and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Gently bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and stir sparingly for about 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is irresistibly tender.
