Hungarian Veal Goulash Recipes

Steps:

• Melt lard in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onions in hot lard until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Stir beef and paprika into onions. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup water and simmer, adding more water if moisture gets too low, until meat falls apart and onion sauce is thick, about 1 hour more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Place the onions, carrots and green peppers in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Sprinkle meat with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a large skillet, brown meat in oil in batches. Transfer to slow cooker., Add broth to skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Combine the flour, paprika, tomato paste, caraway seeds, garlic, sugar and remaining salt and pepper; stir into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over meat. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours or until meat is tender., Cook noodles according to package directions. Stir sour cream into slow cooker. Drain noodles; serve with goulash.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; saute until lightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in paprika. Rinse veal with water; pat dry. Return Dutch oven to heat, add veal, salt and pepper, and saute until meat is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add parsley, marjoram, carrots, celery, peppers, tomato sauce, wine and stock. Place cover on pot, place in oven, lower temperature to 375 degrees. Bake for 2 hours or until meat is fork tender. If gravy seems too thick, add boiling water, a little at a time. Or you can bake it in a slow oven (250 degrees) overnight, which yields a moist, delicious flavor. (According to Weisel this tastes better when made in advance and reheated.) Serve with noodles, rice, or couscous, and Hadassah's favorites, cabbage and baked sweet potatoes. Serves 10.
