Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Egyptian Beef Goulash
- Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Season beef chuck with salt and black pepper, and sear in the hot oil for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add chopped onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in tomato paste, ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and paprika. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to bloom the spices.
- Return browned beef to the pot, stirring to coat with the aromatic mixture.
- Pour in beef broth and diced tomatoes, stirring well. Increase heat to bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add sliced green bell peppers and carrots, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper as needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, possibly with crusty bread or over rice.
