Beef goulash with tomato paste

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make beef goulash with tomato paste? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. To make the meat juicier, it is better to use the pulp of fresh beef or veal. In addition to salt and pepper, you can add your own spices to taste. I added a little hop-suneli. Take any vegetable oil. I have sunflower oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the beef. Be sure to dry it with a paper towel, otherwise excessive moisture will not allow it to fry - it will stew. Cut into medium pieces. If you use frozen meat, you must first properly defrost it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Determine the size of the bulb according to your taste. If you or your children do not like onions, you can not add them at all. In addition to onions, you can add other vegetables to taste to the goulash.

4. Step 4:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Stir-fry the meat over high heat until golden brown. At the end, sprinkle the beef with spices and mix.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the chopped onion in the pan with the meat. Fry everything together, stirring, for about 5 minutes over medium heat.

7. Step 6:

   

   Sprinkle the meat with onions with flour and mix thoroughly.Flour will thicken the tomato gravy. You can replace flour with potato or corn starch.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add tomato paste to the meat, pour in hot water. Mix everything thoroughly. If you want more sauce, pour in more water.

9. Step 8:

   

   Bring the sauce to a boil. Simmer the goulash under the lid for about 50 minutes or longer until the meat is soft. If most of the sauce evaporates during stewing, pour in more hot water.
