Ingredients

1 kg of beef, but you can also use pork, which has a shorter preparation time
2-3 pcs onions
4 pcs tomatoes
2 pcs fresh peppers
2 tbsp sweet ground paprika
1 tsp hot ground paprika
5 tbsp lard or oil
1 tbsp salt
Feferonky or chili peppers

Preparation procedure

The basis of goulash is an equal volume of meat and onions
Cut the onions into smaller pieces, then fry them over low heat in oil or lard. You can let them caramelize slightly.
Then add finely chopped tomatoes. (they can also be from a can)
Simmer the onions together with the tomatoes until the liquid evaporates. This forms a mushy mass as the base of the goulash.
Add sweet ground paprika together with hot paprika to the mash.
Cut the meat and add it to the pot. Stir the meat until it has browned. Add salt.
Add green pepper, feferonky, or chili peppers to taste.
Add a little water to the goulash, stir, and let it simmer covered over low heat.
Regularly add water to the goulash and stir.
The meat needs to be stewed until completely tender. For beef, this process takes about 2 hours. The water will evaporate, the meat will soften, and the goulash will thicken on its own.
