Wiener Gulasch

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb beef sirloin or chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 medium yellow onions, sliced into thick half-moons
• 2 tbsp Hungarian paprika (sweet or hot)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ tsp caraway seeds (optional but traditional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Season beef with salt and pepper, then work in batches to sear until deeply browned, ~2 min per batch.

2. 2

   Remove beef to a plate. Add onions to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, ~6 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in paprika and tomato paste, cooking for 60 seconds until fragrant and darkened slightly.

4. 4

   Pour in broth and return beef to the pan with any juices. Add caraway seeds if using. Bring to a simmer and cook covered for 10 minutes until beef is tender.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until fully combined and silky. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve immediately in wide bowls. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or dill.
