Beer goulash is a very classic dish and is traditionally served with white bread or rice. It's a very filling meal.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 0.5 l Beer (helles)
  • 60 g clarified butter
  • 150 g potatoes (firm-cooking)
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 bunch of mixed herbs
  • 0.5 tsp ground caraway seeds
  • 2 EL Paprika (edelsüß)
  • 1 pinch of black, ground pepper
  • 750g beef (shoulder or neck)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 100 ml whipping cream (or sour cream)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 yellow onions
Method · 1 h 40 min
  1. Peel and roughly chop the onions and garlic cloves. Heat the lard in a pot and sauté the onions and garlic cloves until translucent.
  2. Wash the meat, pat it dry, and cut it into approximately 3 cm cubes. Place these in the pot and season with paprika, salt, pepper, and caraway seeds.
  3. Now pour in half the beer and stir well. Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and add them. Then let it simmer gently for about 60 minutes.
  4. Rinse the herbs, shake dry, and chop finely. Stir in the remaining beer and herbs 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
  5. Season the goulash with the heavy cream (or sour cream) and tomato paste. Serve the goulash hot in a casserole dish.
