A quick version of goulash made from thin strips of beef tenderloin in a thick tomato gravy with onion and carrot. Great with mashed potatoes, pasta and buckwheat. Classic goulash is stewed for 1–1.5 hours; this one is ready in 20 minutes.

Method

Cut the beef into thin strips, dice the onion small and grate the carrot on a coarse grater.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the meat over high heat for 5–7 minutes until browned, without covering.
Add the onion and fry for 3 minutes, then the carrot and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and paprika, pour in 300 ml of hot water, add salt and pepper and put in the bay leaf.
Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, until the meat is tender.
Mix the flour with 100 ml of cold water, pour into the goulash and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until the gravy thickens.
