Beef Goulash

Wash the beef and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Slice the onion into half-rings, finely mince the garlic, and coarsely grate the carrot.

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, then add the garlic. Once it becomes fragrant, add the onion and sauté briefly.

Add the carrot and cook together until softened.

Add the beef to the vegetables. Stir-fry quickly over high heat, stirring constantly.

Pour in 0,5 liters of hot water and add the spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste or ketchup. Mix well and season with salt to taste. If the tomatoes are too tart, you can add a pinch of sugar. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender.
