Authentic Hungarian Goulash Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.33 cup vegetable oil
• 3 onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
• 3 teaspoons salt, divided
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
• 1.5 cups water
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onions in oil until softened, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the onions from the pot and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine paprika, 2 teaspoons of salt, and pepper. Coat the beef cubes evenly in the spice mixture, then cook in the same pot until browned on all sides.
3. Return the cooked onions to the pot with the browned beef. Pour in water, tomato paste, garlic, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
