Ingredients

  • 2 lbs stewing beef chopped into 1" pieces
  • 2 2/3 lbs russet potato
  • 2 large onion large , chopped into 1" pieces
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2/3 cup red wine dry
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 - 2 tbsps corn starch
  • 2 - 4 tbsps water cold
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 500 g Frozen Vegetables, Mixed I do peas, carrots, corn, wax beans

Instructions

  • Cut the beef into bite sized pieces.
  • add vegetable oil to a large pot, heat on medium-high
  • Add the meat to the pan in batches so as not to crowd, season with salt and pepper and saute til deeply browned- 4-5 minutes per batch,
  • After the last batch of meat has been removed from the pan, add the onion and saute til fragrant and beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes
  • Add the wine to the pot and scrape up all the fond.
  • Return the meat to the pot along with broth and paprika
  • bring to a simmer, reduce to medium-low and simmer with the lid on, cracked slightly, for 90-110 minutes or until beef is tender.
  • When there's about 10 minutes left, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry, add to pot along with frozen veg, stirring to combine
  • Bring back to a simmer then continue to simmer uncovered for 10 more minutes or until the gravy is your preferred consistency. If it's too thin you can continue to reduce the liquid and / or add more corn starch.
    Reducing increases flavour, but loses volume. Corn starch maintains gravy volume, but with less flavour.
  • For the potatoes, cover in heavily salted water, bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender, then strain
  • Serve goulash over potatoes.
