Traditional Polish Beef Stew / Tradycyjny Gulasz Wołowy
Traditional beef stew is a great idea for a delicious dinner for the entire family. Goulash is a stew that does not require too much work and the entire family will enjoy it. I usually serve beef stew with dumplings, Silesian dumplings or boiled potatoes and a beetroot salad, cucumber salad or sauerkraut salad. It can also be eaten with your favorite groats, a slice of bread and pickled cucumber. You can refrigerate the leftovers for up to several days. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 kg beef for a stew (I used Chuck roast) (Round roast may be used)
- 2-3 Tbsp. all purpose flour
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 medium red pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 Tbsp. oil
- 500 ml. water
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. sweet pepper (ex. Hungarian sweet paprika)
- 1/2 tsp. hot pepper
- 1/3 tsp. black pepper
- 3 grains allspice
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Wash and dry the meat. Cut the meat into bite size pieces. Coat the pieces of meat in flour. I used two tablespoons of all purpose flour for light dusting of the meat. Preheat the oil in a large pan and add the meat.
- Let the meat brown gently on all sides. While frying, stir the meat a few times with a wooden spoon.
- Add the chopped onion to the browned meat until it becomes translucent.
- Add a teaspoon of sweet pepper, half a teaspoon of hot pepper, and about 1/3 teaspoon of pepper. Throw in two bay leaves and three grains of allspice. Mix everything together well.
- Pour 500 ml of water into the browned meat. Cover with a lid and let simmer over low heat.
- Peel the carrots and chop it finely. Peel the garlic cloves and pass through the press or chop finely, Add to the meat and mix well. You should be able to see the sauce thickening slowly.
- Wash and dry the red pepper, cut it into small pieces and place in the meat.
- When the meat is tender, it's time to check the taste of the stew. If necessary, season the stew with more salt, pepper or chili peppers or cayenne pepper. Stir the stew for a few minutes and try again. Pour 50 ml of lukewarm water into a small bowl and add the remaining flour. Mix everything until smooth. Pour the flour mixed with water into the stew. Bring it to boil and remove from heat. Enjoy!!!
