Goulash with tomato sauce

Goulash is one of the favorite dishes of Hungarian shepherds. Gradually, this dish has reached us. True, the cooking process has also changed a little. Now it is stewed not in a cauldron over a fire, but in a deep frying pan. But the composition of the main products in modern recipes has remained almost unchanged: meat with tomato paste and flour.

Step 1

Wash the meat, dry it and cut it into large cubes.

Step 2

Fry chopped onion and garlic in heated oil until golden brown.

Step 3

Place the meat in the pan and fry for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add salt, pepper, flour, mix thoroughly and fry for another 2-3 minutes, continuing to stir.

Step 4

Add tomato sauce and stir well again. Pour 2-3 cups of water into the goulash, stir, add bay leaf and simmer under a lid on low heat for 60-90 minutes.

Step 5

When serving, sprinkle the goulash with fresh chopped herbs.
