👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove beef and set aside.
- 2
Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 10-15 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the sweet paprika, hot paprika (if using), ground caraway seeds, and dried marjoram. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the paprika.
- 4
Add the tomato paste and cook for another minute, stirring. Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
- 5
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth or water if the soup becomes too thick.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Ladle the hot goulash soup into bowls. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
💡 專業提示
- ✓Using good quality beef chuck with some marbling will result in a more tender and flavorful soup.
- ✓Don't rush the sautéing of the onions; they form the base of the soup's flavor.
- ✓Be careful not to burn the paprika, as it can turn bitter.
- ✓The longer the soup simmers, the more the flavors will meld and the more tender the beef will become.
