TOMATO SOUP GOULASH RECIPES

Steps:

• Trim the meat and cut it into bite-sized chunks. In a large bowl, mix the flour with a teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the beef and toss so that all the chunks are dusted with flour.
• Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan and brown the beef in small batches, setting each batch aside while you brown the next. Take care not to crowd the pan or the beef will steam rather than brown.
• Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan, add the onions, carrots, celery, red pepper and garlic. Cook gently for about 10 minutes until they start to soften.
• Add the beef, paprika, caraway seeds, tomato purée and bay leaves, then pour in the beef stock.
• Stir well, cover the pan and simmer for at least 1½ hours until the beef is starting to get tender. Add the potatoes and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes. Check the seasoning before serving.
• Serve the soup in bowls with a generous swirl of soured cream and a good sprinkling of parsley.

Steps:

• Season the beef with salt and pepper.
• Add olive oil and butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
• When butter melts, brown the meat on one side, 3-4 minutes. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you will have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add onion to the pot and saute until soft, 3-4 minutes.
• Add garlic, paprika, caraway and tomato paste. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes more.
• Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Put the meat and any juices back into the pot, stir in diced tomatoes.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 15 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and 1/2 cup pot juices. Stir into the pot until thickened, returning to SAUTE mode as needed. Adjust seasonings.
• Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, alongside noodles, zucchini zoodles, mashed potatoes or with crusty bread.
