Jennie Grossinger Beef Goulash

Step 1: Dry the meat cubes very well.

Step 2: Heat the oil in a heavy dutch oven-brown the meat cubes, over medium-high heat, until well browned on all sides.

Step 3: Add the onions and continue browning for a few minutes- scrape the bits off the bottom.

Step 4: Add the salt, pepper and paprika.

Step 5: Cover - lower the heat to low/simmer - let cook for 30 minutes- stir occasionally.

Step 6: Add the bell peppers and tomato sauce- cover and cook for another 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is very soft- stir occasionally.

Step 7: Taste the sauce close to the end- add salt and pepper ( or seasoned salt, like I do) to taste - let cook a bit more.
