1 bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon paprika

Instructions

Prepare the Steaks

Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

Remove from the skillet and let rest.

Make the Goulash Sauce

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Stir in the paprika and cumin, then add the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Slice the rested steaks and spoon the goulash sauce over the top. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious meal!

This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Serving Suggestions

When serving Steaks with Goulash and Sauce, consider pairing it with sides that complement the rich flavors of the dish. Creamy mashed potatoes or buttery egg noodles serve as excellent bases for the savory sauce, allowing you to soak up every drop. Additionally, a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette can provide a refreshing contrast to the hearty main course.

Wine pairing can enhance the overall dining experience. A robust red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, complements the richness of the steak and sauce beautifully. Alternatively, a chilled white wine, like a Chardonnay, can also work well, especially if you're serving the dish in warmer weather.

Storage and Reheating

Leftovers of Steaks with Goulash and Sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To preserve the flavor and texture, it's best to store the steak and sauce separately. When you're ready to enjoy your leftovers, reheat them gently on the stovetop over low heat, ensuring not to overcook the steak again.

If you want to freeze the dish, consider freezing the goulash sauce separately from the steak. The sauce can last up to three months in the freezer. For best results, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. This way, you can enjoy a delicious meal without compromising on flavor, even days later.
