Recipe
1. Heat a large
heavy pot with 1/2 teaspoon cooking oil over medium heat. Add the bacon and fry
until crisp and bacon oil has been extracted. Remove bacon from pan and let
drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
2. In the same pot,
pour remaining oil and add beef cubes to the pot with bacon fat. Brown evenly
on all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over the beef and
continue to stir to dissolve any lumps.
3. Add onion,
garlic, bell pepper, paprika and caraway seeds. Stir for about 2 minutes or
until fragrant.
4. Stir in vinegar,
tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a boil, and then allow to simmer for 1 hour,
covered, stirring occasionally.
5. Add potatoes and
reserved bacon. Continue to simmer, partially covered for 30 minutes or until
the potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Stir sour cream
into the goulash just before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
7. Serve hot with
pasta noodles or toasted crusty bread.
