Beef Goulash With Dumplings Recipes

GOULASH WITH BREAD DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• For the goulash: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is shimmering, sear the beef all over in batches until deep brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the onions and cook, scraping up any meat bits from the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots, garlic and a pinch of salt and saute until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the paprika, tomato paste and caraway and stir to combine; cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef back to the pan, then add the broth, chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the beef is tender and can be broken down with a spoon but still maintains its shape, about 2 hours.
• For the bread dumplings: Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, cheese and scallions to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Mix in the flour mixture. Let the dumpling mixture sit for 15 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Using a 1/3-cup ice cream scoop, form firmly packed balls of the dumpling mixture. Add them to the pot and boil until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Spoon the goulash into bowls and add a dumpling or two to each. Top with chopped parsley or scallions if desired.

BEEF GOULASH WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Ignite the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the grid, to 200°C. Meanwhile, cut the beef shoulder into 3 cm cubes. Cut the peppers and onion into slices of approx. 2 cm. Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Slice the mushrooms.
• Heat the butter in the Cast Iron Dutch Oven on the grid. Add the meat and cook until browned, then add in the onions, red pepper and garlic and stir well. Cook until the onion is translucent. Stir the flour into the meat mixture and let cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the other ingredients except for the green onion. Close the lid of the EGG after each action and wait until the goulash starts to bubble. Remove the Dutch oven and the grid from the EGG. Set up the convEGGtor, replace the grid and put the pan back on. Close the lid of the EGG and heat to 140°C. Let the goulash cook for approx. 3 hours on a low heat, stirring occasionally and adding more stock if necessary. After approx. 2 1/2 hours melt the butter for the dumpling batter. Mix together the rest of the ingredients for the dumplings, then stir in the melted butter; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the green onion into rings of approx. 1 cm for the goulash. When the meat is tender, mix the green onion into the goulash, then season with salt and pepper. Using two soup spoons make dumplings from the batter and place them on top of the goulash. Place the lid on the pan and close the lid of the EGG. Let the dumplings cook 15-20 minutes on the goulash until they feel firm to the touch. Meanwhile, remove the parsley leaves from the stalks and finely chop them. Remove the pan from the EGG and sprinkle the goulash and dumplings with the finely chopped parsley.

BEEF GOULASH WITH DUMPLINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large covered sauté pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions and sugar until caramelized. Add the garlic and caraway seed. Cook another minute.
• Add the sweet and spicy paprika, marjoram, thyme and bay leaf. Sauté another minute, until fragrant.
• Add the tomato paste. Deglaze with the vinegar and the stock and add the pieces of beef, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cover and cook until very tender, about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To prepare the dumplings, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Combine with the milk and melted butter, mixing lightly. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into the simmering stew. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Once you have covered the pan, do not uncover while the dumplings are cooking! In order for them to be light and fluffy, they must steam. If you uncover the pan, the steam will escape and the dumplings will boil instead. After 15 minutes, test the dumplings with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumplings are done.
