Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by patting the beef chuck cubes dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the beef in batches, searing for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same Dutch oven, add more olive oil if needed, then add the chopped onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until translucent and soft, scraping up any browned bits for flavor.
- Reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic, sweet and smoked paprika, caraway seeds, marjoram, and cayenne pepper. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute until well combined with the onion and spices.
- Pour in the beef broth and dry red wine, scraping up any remnants from the pot. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the browned beef, diced tomatoes, and chopped bell peppers to the pot. Stir to combine, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.
- Add the cubed potatoes, stirring gently to mix. Cover and simmer for an additional 30-45 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
- In a bowl, whisk together sour cream and flour until smooth. Temper with hot goulash liquid, then stir back into the pot. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve hot garnished with fresh parsley alongside noodles or Spätzle.
