Beef goulash – step by step recipe with photo

Wash the meat, cut into slices in the little finger thick.

Fry in a wok in melted butter until a crispy crust forms.

Then add finely chopped onions, carrots, bell peppers, garlic and tomato paste.

Fry for 3-5 minutes.

Sprinkle with flour and fry everything together for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Pour half a liter of boiling water or hot broth, mix.

Add two bay leaves, a teaspoon of salt and sugar.

Cover and simmer for 1-1.5 hours at a low boil until the meat is tender.

When this happens, taste and adjust the taste with salt and sugar, add freshly ground black pepper and sour cream.

Simmer for another 10 minutes with the lid open, stirring occasionally.

Serve ready-made goulash with fried or boiled potatoes, sprinkled with finely chopped dill and parsley.

I like it better with mashed potatoes.
