Cooking goulash. Beef with Flour Gravy

Despite the fact that Hungary is considered to be the birthplace of goulash, Soviet housewives were able to modify this dish so that it truly became our national dish. How to cook delicious goulash in the Russian manner?

In Russia, goulash is called meat cut into small pieces, cooked in large quantities of thick and aromatic gravy. Serve it with a variety of side dishes - rice, potatoes, stewed vegetables and more.

To make the goulash juicy and tasty, you must carefully approach the choice of meat. If you take beef for cooking goulash, you need to take a shoulder blade, pulp of the back leg or tenderloin, a very tender goulash is obtained from the kidney part of the hip cut. If you are cooking a pork dish, it is better to take a neck or tenderloin, non-greasy hard parts - loin and ham - are not suitable for cooking goulash, as in this case the meat will turn out to be too dry and hard. An important point: meat must be completely cleaned of films and cartilage, thin fatty layers can be left.

The meat will be more juicy if you fry it a little before stewing. Stew such meat for at least an hour and a half.

If you want to cook goulash with vegetables, you need to take as much as you have meat.

Goulash is cooked in dishes with thick walls and a bottom, for example, in a cast-iron pan or ducklings.

To get a thick sauce, instead of flour, you can use starch, stir a teaspoon of starch in cold water and, stirring, introduce the liquid into the dish. If the sauce doesn’t seem as thick as you need, additionally dilute half a teaspoon of starch in cold water and add to the goulash.

So, to cook a classic beef goulash, you need 1 kg of meat. Rinse it under running water, cut into small cubes (about 20 grams each), put it on a napkin to make glass water, sprinkle with black pepper. Heat the pan, add vegetable oil. Throw the meat into a pan, sauté until golden brown, transfer the meat to a saucepan or pan. To make the sauce, you need to take another pan. Pour 2 tablespoons of flour on it, fry, the flour should acquire a beautiful golden hue. Finely chop 2 onion heads and as many carrots, fry them in a pan on which the meat was fried. Add to the onions and carrots a few tablespoons of tomato paste, baked flour, mix everything. Add the resulting mass to the meat, add water - it should completely cover the meat, salt, pepper. Stew the dish over low heat for an hour and a half, sometimes remembering to stir goulash.

Many people like goulash with thick rich gravy more than ordinary goulash in liquid sauce. And cooking it is not at all difficult, just a couple of additional steps. We offer you a goulash recipe with gravy, which can be prepared both from pork and beef.

Ingredients:

Meat (pork or beef)   - 600-800 grams

Onion   - 75-100 grams (1-2 small onions)

Carrot   - 80-100 grams (1 piece of medium size)

Wheat flour   - 1-2 tbsp

Sour cream   - 1 tbsp

Tomato paste   - 1-2 tbsp

Spice: salt, ground black pepper, bay leaf, dill (optional).

How to cook goulash with gravy

1.   Peel and grate the carrots (cut into strips or cubes).


2
. Peel and chop onions.


3
. Defrost and clean the meat for goulash. By the way, when buying frozen meat, be sure to pay attention to the color of the ice cubes. If it is pink, it means that the meat has been frozen twice and can be harmful to health.

4 . Cut the meat into small pieces (1-1.5 cm). It is softer and more tender than goulash from pork tenderloin, shoulder blades and neck. Beef is less fat, so in order to make the beef goulash soft, you need to cook the meat a little longer (1-1.5 hours) than pork.


5
. In a hot pan with vegetable oil, spread the carrots with onions and fry a little. Then add meat and spices (except salt), mix.


6
. Fry meat with carrots and onions over high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly. This is done so that the meat, having absorbed the aroma of vegetables, seals it inside with its own juices. In the future, goulash will turn out juicy and tender, because when stewing all the juices will be inside each piece.

Add 1-1.5 cups of water, reduce heat to a minimum and cover with a lid. Stew the goulash until the meat is ready, about 30-60 minutes.


7
. In the meantime, prepare gravy for goulash. Half a glass of cold water is mixed with flour and sour cream. Add tomato paste as desired.


8.
  When the meat is ready, you need to pour the sauce for gravy into the pan with a thin stream, constantly stirring. Now it's time to salt. It is advisable to salt the goulash at the very end of cooking, then the meat will be softer.


9
. Stew until thickened for 5-10 minutes. Add greens (optional).
