Beef in Red Wine

Goulash in all it´s different forms is something you will find in many restaurants through out the country and on many Sunday dinner tables.


Often prepared with pork or a mix of pork and beef, often only with beef. But you can find it with turkey as well. lamb as goulash is rare here in Germany.
Very popular are the Hungarian Goulash here, but that is called Pörkölt in Hungary. Lots of paprika and onions are the base to that.
The other version is from France and made with red wine. The most famous one is Boeuf Bourguignon á la Chef Bocuse. That recipe is on my blog too.


Recipe:
400 g organic beef for braising
150 g tomatoes
2 carrots
1 12 cm piece of white leek
1/2 bunch parsley

1 tbsp tomato paste
650 ml red wine
200 ml water
