Goulash


Ingredients
2 Lbs. diced Sirloin
2 oz. olive oil
12 onions sliced
1 oz. Paprika
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 tsp. caraway seeds
½ diced tomatoe
1 bay leaf
½ tsp. thyme
4 -5 cups of beef broth (adjust liquid accordingly)
Salt and Pepper


Directions
Brown meat with garlic, onions and caraway seeds in oil then add the paprika and mix well.
Let cook on high for a minute or two to the mixture absorb the paprika. Be very careful not to burn the paprika or it becomes very bitter.
Add your beef broth, tomatoe, bay leaf and thyme.
Let this come to a boil and then simmer until meat is tender and it has reached the desired consistency.
If you find that it is not getting thick enough you can add some diced potatoes to use as a thickening agent.
At the very end season with salt and pepper as desired.
When serving pour mixture over potatoes or mini dumplings

Notes
This dish is best prepared the day before to allow the flavours to develop. There are many variations of this dish and you can add items as you wish for example carrots or peppers. A nice garnish to this dish is to top it when it is hot with a spoon of frozen sour cream and that will give you that nice hot/cold contrast when you are eating it.
