Pivo guláš (beer goulash)

Pivo guláš is a Czech goulash simmered with dark beer, which adds a malty flavour and a velvety sauce. Paprika and melted onion give the beef a deep red colour, a warming dish for winter evenings.

Instructions

  1. Cut the beef into 3 cm cubes and season with salt. Thinly slice the onions.
  2. Melt the lard in a casserole, then cook the onions over low heat for 10 minutes until very soft and golden.
  3. Add the meat and sear for 5 minutes over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and sprinkle with paprika and cumin.
  4. Deglaze with the beer and pour in the stock. Add the crushed garlic and bay leaf, then simmer covered for 1 h 30 to 2 hours.
  5. Meanwhile, toast the bread, crush it and stir it into the pot 15 minutes before the end to thicken the sauce.
  6. Adjust the seasoning, remove the bay leaf and serve with potatoes or knedlíky.

Variations and tips

Slow cooker version. Cook all the ingredients in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours for an equally tender result.

Alcohol-free. Replace the beer with extra stock and a spoonful of cider vinegar to keep the acidity.
