German Beef Goulash

Step 1

Place beef cubes in a large bowl. Sprinkle 3 Tbsp paprika on top of the beef. Drizzle oil over beef. Stir to coat beef cubes with paprika and oil. Cover and chill for 30 mins at room temp.

Step 2

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Working in batches, add the beef to the pot and brown on all sides. Do not brown the beef all at once.

Step 3

Note paprika browns quickly and so watch over it and turn beef cubes before it blackens/burns. Transfer browned beef to a plate or bowl.

Step 4

Add 1 Tbsp of oil to the pot if needed (if the pot looks "dry" and does not have a layer of melted fat in the bottom).

Step 5

Add onion slices, ½ tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper to the pot and cook until onions have softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add garlic, stir, and cook for 1 minute.

Step 7

Add tomato paste, beef broth, and remaining paprika(2 Tbsp), ½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Add browned beef and any accumulated juices back to the pot. Add enough water to just cover the beef. Stir.

Step 9

Bring to a boil then lower heat to simmer. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Step 10

Add shredded cabbage. Stir. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Step 12
