Spicy Hungarian goulash
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive or sunflower oil (15 mL)
2 lb lean beef round steak, fat removed, cubes (1 kg)
2 onions, thinly sliced
1 to 2 tbsp hot or mild paprika (15 to 25 mL)
1 tbsp all-purpose flour (15 mL)
1 tbsp chopped fresh marjoram (15 mL)
or 1 tsp (5 mL) dried
2 cups beef stock (500 mL)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp sour cream (50 mL)
Instructions:
Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan. Add the beef and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes or until brown. Stir in the paprika, flour and marjoram and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Gradually stir in the stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1½ hours or until the beef is tender.
Spoon into warmed bowls and top with sour cream. Sprinkle with a little paprika and serve with fresh crusty bread. Makes 8 servings
Notes:
Tip: Remember the bread will add carbohydrates – so choose wisely. A whole-grain or rye bread is better than white.
