Prep Time30 minsCook Time2 hrs 10 minsTotal Time2 hrs 40 mins
Ingredients
 1 Beef
 500 Onion
 500 Tomato
 2 Bell pepper
 3 Paprika
 2 Oregano
 1 Beef broth
 2 Cumin
 3 Oil
 30 Margarine (or butter)
 1 pinch Salt
Directions
1

Meat Preparation Cut the meat into 1 to 2 cm cubes (not larger, or the cooking time will need to be increased). Heat the margarine and oil in a large skillet or frying pan. Brown the meat cubes in it and transfer them to a pressure cooker as they cook, without the fat.

2

Preparation of the filling. Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the onions. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers and cut them into small cubes (frozen diced peppers can be used). Remove the fibrous part at the base of the tomatoes and cut them into cubes (canned diced tomatoes can be used).

3

Cooking In the remaining fat, sauté the onions and peppers without burning them. Then, place them in the pressure cooker with the diced tomatoes, spices, and broth. Lightly salt, close the pressure cooker, and let it cook over medium heat for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes, starting from when the steam starts to hiss. You can extend the cooking time by about 30 minutes for more tender meat, or reheat the dish the next day; it will be even better.

    Excellent recipe; I just opted for an old cast iron pot and halved the amounts of cumin and oregano because I'm not a big fan, but other than that it's just perfect with spaetzle.

    Everyone found this goulash excellent with this spice blend; a friend who was at dinner with us asked me for the recipe to adapt it with venison.

    Goulash is called gulyás leves in Hungary, meaning soup of the herdsmen (cattle herders). So it is a soup. What you propose is a stew. Instead of using a pressure cooker, add enough liquid in a large pot, and instead of oil/butter/margarine, I recommend using goose or duck fat.

    Very good recipe. I ate it in Hungary on a Danube cruise ship. I think what was served at the table was not the right goulash; it was too liquid. This recipe is delicious. I will make it; excellent!
