Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat cut into 2-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups beef broth, divided
  • 1 ½ tablespoons flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 cups uncooked egg noodles

Instructions

  • Add the veggies to the pot of your slow cooker
  • Season the meat cubes with salt and pepper
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the meat cubes
  • Add the beef to the slow cooker and deglaze the pan with one and a half cups of beef broth. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet to get all the brown bits that stick to it. This is where most of the flavor is.
  • Mix the flour, paprika, minced garlic, tomato paste, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl to form a paste.
  • Using a whisk, combine this paste with the beef broth in the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes until the broth thickens.
  • Add the thickened broth to the slow cooker and mix with the rest of the ingredients. Pour in the remaining ½ cup of beef broth and cook on low for 7 hours.
  • A few minutes before the goulash is done cooking, prepare the egg noodles according to package directions.
  • Serve the hot goulash over the egg noodles.
