Beef goulash
Ingredients
- 50mls cold water
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon plain flour
- 450g/1lb stewing steak
- 3 onions, chopped
- 400mls hot water
- 1 clove garlic, chopped or crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoonsolive or other vegetable oil
- 1 small carton plain/natural yoghurt
Method
- Heat oil in a thick based, deep frying pan or large saucepan.
- Add steak and brown well, this takes about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the onions and cook them until they are soft.
- Sprinkle the meat and onions with the paprika, salt, chopped garlic, pepper and sugar; mix well, until they are all blended together.
- Pour in the hot water; cover the pan with a lid, and simmer the goulash gently for about 1.5 hours. You will need to stir it from time to time.
- Blend the flour with the cold water until smooth. This is easier if you add the water to the flour a little at a time. You can use cornflour as an alternative, as it is less likely to go into lumps.
- Stir the flour and water mixture into the meat mixture, and cook it until the sauce is thick. You will need to stand over it at this point and stir it occasionally.
- Remove the goulash from the heat and stir in the yoghurt (don't do this with the pan on the heat as it will curdle).
- Serve the beef goulash over cooked rice.
