Description

Zartes Rindfleisch schmort in samtiger, rubinroter Sauce mit würziger Paprikanote, aromatischem Knoblauch und leicht säuerlichem Sauerkraut. Goldene Zwiebeln verleihen dem Gulasch Tiefe und einen herzhaften Glanz.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1,000 g beef (shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 600 g fresh sauerkraut
  • 3 large onions, coarsely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 liter dry red wine
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons sweet paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon hot paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (level)
  • 1 liter beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream (Schmand)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Pork lard, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare all your ingredients before you begin: Cut the beef shoulder into bite-sized pieces, coarsely dice the onions, and chop the garlic cloves. Set aside the sauerkraut, measure out the red wine, tomato paste, paprika powders, cayenne pepper, and beef broth.
  2. Heat a generous amount of pork lard in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Once the lard is very hot, add a portion of the beef pieces (do not overcrowd the pot) and sear them on all sides until well browned. Season the beef with salt and pepper as it cooks. Remove the browned meat to a bowl and repeat with the remaining beef, working in 2–3 batches as needed.
  3. Once all the beef is browned and set aside, add the diced onions to the remaining fat in the pot. Sauté the onions over medium-high heat until they become golden and start to caramelize, stirring occasionally. Once the onions are ready, add them to the bowl with the browned beef.
  4. If needed, add a little more pork lard to the pot. Add the fresh sauerkraut and fry it over medium-high heat for several minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauerkraut starts to brown lightly and develops a richer flavor.
  5. Sprinkle both the sweet and hot paprika powders, as well as the cayenne pepper, over the browned sauerkraut. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly and allow them to bloom for about 1 minute, taking care not to burn the paprika.
  6. Add the tomato paste to the sauerkraut and stir thoroughly to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes, allowing the tomato paste to caramelize slightly and integrate with the spices and sauerkraut.
  7. Return the browned beef and onions to the pot with the sauerkraut mixture. Stir everything together until well mixed.
  8. Pour in the dry red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits stuck to the bottom. This will add depth of flavor to the goulash.
  9. Add the chopped garlic to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in about 2 cups (roughly 500 ml) of beef broth or water so that the ingredients are just covered.
  10. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the goulash cook slowly for at least 2 hours. Stir occasionally and check the liquid level, adding more beef broth or water as needed to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom and the ingredients remain just covered.
  11. After at least 2 hours of slow simmering, the beef should be very tender and the flavors well developed. Taste the goulash and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  12. Shortly before serving, stir in the cup of sour cream (Schmand) until fully integrated, creating a creamy, rich sauce.
  13. Serve the Krautgulasch hot, ideally accompanied by mashed potatoes or dumplings as a hearty side dish.

Notes

Krautgulasch is a robust and comforting dish, perfect for cold days. For a slightly tangier flavor, you can add a splash of sauerkraut juice during cooking. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can briefly blend a portion of the goulash before adding the sour cream. This dish tastes even better the next day, as the flavors develop further with time. Traditional sides include mashed potatoes or Klöße (German potato dumplings).
