Ingredients
Instructions
Sauté the onions in lard or vegetable oil over medium heat until they turn a deep golden brown, not just translucent.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the paprika, taking care not to burn it.
Add the beef cubes and garlic, stirring to coat the meat in the onion-paprika mixture.
Add caraway seeds, salt, and pepper, then pour in enough broth to barely cover the meat.
Cover the pot and simmer on very low heat for 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally until the meat is fork-tender and the sauce is thickened.
Adjust seasoning and serve hot with crusty bread or bread dumplings.
💡 Chef's Tip
The secret to an authentic Goulash is the long cooking time and using a generous amount of onions to create the base of the sauce naturally without needing thickeners like flour.
