Ingredients
Beef goulash
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1.5 kilogram chuck steak, cut into 3cm pieces
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1/4 cup plain flour
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 400 gram can chopped tomatoes
- 1 litre beef stock
- fresh thyme sprigs, to serve
Herb dumplings
- 1.5 cup self-raising flour
- 60 gram butter, chopped
- 2 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1/2 - 1/3 cup milk
Method
Beef goulash
- 1Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat half the oil in a large pan on high. Add the meat in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes until well browned. Remove from the pan.
- 2Heat the remaining oil in the same pan, add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Add the paprika and sauté for 1 minute.
- 3Return the meat to the pan, sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes and stock. Bring to the boil, then transfer the mixture to a 2-litre casserole dish. Cover with a lid and bake for 50 minutes.
- 4Remove the goulash from the oven and increase the temperature to 220°C. Place the dumplings over the goulash and brush with a little extra milk. Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes until the dumplings are golden and cooked through. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
Herb dumplings
- 5For the herb dumplings, sift the flour into a bowl, rub in the butter with your fingertips, then using a round-bladed knife, stir in the herbs and enough milk to form a soft dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Press out the dough to 1cm thick and cut into 5cm rounds.
Notes
- Steps 1-3 can be completed a day ahead and kept in the fridge – simply reheat in the oven, add dumplings and bake as directed.
