Ingredients
- 1 kg braising steak
- 4 onions (sliced into rings)
- 1 red bell pepper (cut into cubes)
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 carrots (cut into pieces)
- 1 tbsp sambal oelek
- 2 tbsp vegeta
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tsp peppercorns
- vegetable oil
- 5 tbsp plain flour
- 3 tbsp paprika powder
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut 1 kg braising steak into pieces, 4 onions into rings, 1 red bell pepper into cubes, and 2 carrots into pieces. Peel and finely chop 2 cloves garlic.
Cooking
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large soup pot. Sauté the onion rings, red bell pepper cubes, and carrot pieces until they become translucent. Then add the 3 bay leaves, 1 tbsp oregano, 1 tsp peppercorns, and the finely chopped garlic and cook briefly to enhance the aroma.
- Now add the beef chuck pieces and stir well. Pour in a splash of warm water, let it evaporate, and repeat this process several times until the meat becomes wonderfully tender.
- Further season the soup with 2 tbsp vegeta and 1 tbsp sambal oelek. Then add enough water to reach the desired thickness of the soup. Bring to a boil and let it simmer briefly.
- In a separate frying pan, heat a splash of vegetable oil. Add 5 tbsp plain flour and cook gently until it turns light brown. Then stir in 3 tbsp paprika powder. Add this mixture (roux) to the soup and stir well to thicken the soup nicely.
To serve
- Let the soup simmer gently for about 10 more minutes so the flavours can fully develop and the soup thickens slightly. Serve the goulash soup piping hot. Priatno!
Notes
This Serbian goulash soup is a complete meal soup and tastes best with rustic bread or cornbread, with which you can scoop up the rich sauce deliciously.
