hungarian beef goulash

Serves: 8
Total Time: 4 hr 30 min
Ingredients
U.S. Metric Conversion chart

2 pound(s) beef stew meat, (such as chuck), trimmed and cubed
2 teaspoon(s) caraway seeds
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) sweet or hot paprika, (or a mixture of the two), preferably Hungarian (see Tips & Techniques)
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 large or 2 medium onions, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 diced tomatoes
1 reduced-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon(s) Worcestershire sauce
3 clove(s) garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon(s) cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Place beef in a 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Crush caraway seeds with the bottom of a saucepan. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the beef with the spice mixture and toss to coat well. Top with onion and bell pepper.
Combine tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer. Pour over the beef and vegetables. Place bay leaves on top. Cover and cook until the beef is very tender, 4 to 4 1/2 hours on high or 7 to 7 1/2 hours on low.
Discard the bay leaves; skim or blot any visible fat from the surface of the stew. Add the cornstarch mixture to the stew and cook on high, stirring 2 or 3 times, until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Tips & Techniques

Paprika specifically labeled as "Hungarian" is worth seeking out for this dish because it delivers a fuller, richer flavor than regular or Spanish paprika. Find it at specialty-foods store or online at hungariandeli.com and penzeys.com.

2 mats is almost as ridiculous as seven KC metro teams traveling 2.5 hours to Pittsburg.

Easy for you to say Will, we have to go to that regional in Colby, and our drive will be longer than 2.5 hours.

Does it really take that long to get to Pittsburg. I drove Chanute to St. James over Christmas break in under 2 hours.

You can make it in 2 but not if you have 15 people in a bus. It isn't about the single drive it is about the lack of fiscal common sense. You don't make 7 teams travel from a common place to accommodate one team staying home. It is a gross misuse of tax dollars.

I enjoy a good road trip, you have too out here in Western Kansas, where we normally have to travel 4 plus hours for our regional tournaments. plus it is always cool to see other parts of our great state.

Yea but you don't have 7 schools within 20 minutes of each other and your regionals are not eight teams. I don't mind road trips when they are necessary. This was just a bad deal and makes no sense.

With the exception of maybe the Lake Wilson area and the Red Hills in South Central KS everything West of Salina looks about the same to me. I do a lot of driving out West esp SW KS and it is about as boring as it can get. The worst drive ever is in Saskatchewan driving West of Regina to Calgary in Canada. Flat for hundreds of miles totally a bummer to drive. Just a heads up, fly or ride a train if your headed that way, you won't be sorry.

I am from Goodland it never surprises me to read a
and listen to the whining about having to drive out to western Kansas about once every four or five years. Every year for years we made the drive to Topeka for kids state, every year for high school regionals and the next weekend to witchita for state and now Salina. It is what it is, it's part of the sport, if you don't want to make the drive then stay home.

But you chose to live there not us, why should we suffer.

Ya your right we don't want anyone to suffer so I really think Colby and Goodland should just drop there wrestling programs. If you actually consider it suffering you really have problems. I'll tell you what suffering is, I just lost my 21 year old daughter in a tragic accident. Be thankful you can travel wherever it is to watch your sons or daughters and quit complaining.

Since I have been in Colby our regional tournament locations are as follows.
Russell 135 miles
Pratt 222 miles
Clearwater 307 miles
Ulysses 153 miles
Pratt 222 miles
Concordia 206 miles
Chapman 236 miles
Abilene 225 miles
Grand Total 1,706 miles one-way

Since when is Pittsburg in Western Kansas??

Did I say Cokeley was complaining, no I didn't, I was referring to the teams coming to the Colby regional. Like always you have to get your typical remarks in.

I was just razing you western ks folks. Bottom line is if you are in the sport of wrestling you better be ready to travel.

Does eveything they do makes sense...no

Buhler has been trying for 6-7 years that I know of very hard to host a regional. It seems like Buhler would be a good spot. It is also about getting kids more interested in the sport. I can't imagine the impact of hosting a regional and subjecting some of the kids to the high level wrestling and prestige why not pass that around a little more evenly.

So on the 10 yr average you have had to travel 170.6 mile one way. I am taking in acount including this year and 2005 (I think that is what I saw was the last time Colby hosted) as factors for travel. I also assumed these are consecutive years.

That comes out roughly to just a little over of 2.5 hours of driving.

To me that isn't that horrible.

Sorry, you posted that right after I complained about seven teams traveling to Pittsburg. I thought it was safe to assume you were taking a shot at that comment.

I am so sad for your loss. my prayers are with you and your family.

I guess if you don't like the selection your team can opt out...
