German Goulash in Instant Pot

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika (preferably smoked)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by setting your Instant Pot to the “Sauté” function. Add olive oil and let it heat up.

  3. Add the beef cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes. This step adds depth to the flavor.
  4. Stir in the paprika, thyme, and oregano, allowing the spices to toast for a minute, unleashing their fragrant oils.
  5. Next, pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Scrape the bottom of the pot to eliminate any stuck bits, which can cause a burn notice during pressure cooking.
  6. Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes.
  8. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release for about 10 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure.
  9. Open the lid and give the goulash a good stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Enjoy your flavorful German Goulash!
