Ingredients
 

  • 500 g Fresh beef goulash
  • 200 g Diced onion
  • 2 tbsp Rapeseed oil
  • 0,75 L Homemade dark beef broth
  • 150 g Drained chanterelles jar canned
  • 250 g Mushrooms glass canned drained
  • 0,25 L Sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Seasonal herbs finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1 pinch Black pepper from the mill
  • 1 pinch Sea salt from the mill
  • 1 pinch Chilli (cayenne pepper)
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Currants black jelly

Instructions
 

  • This was a test to determine whether goulash cut from a roast beef can, through maturation, achieve the same tenderness as goulash from the beef rump, for example.
  • I cut the goulash cubes into 3 cm cubes and vacuumed them. Then put it in a refrigerator set to 2 degrees plus and let it mature for 2 weeks.
  • The beef cubes were taken out of the vacuum bag 1 hour before cooking, washed off and dried.
  • Now fry the cubes all over over medium heat, add the onions and fry for a few minutes. Then stir in the flour and pour in the beef broth. Bring to the boil briefly and season with the spices.
  • Since the meat was very tender due to the long ripening time, it only took about 45 minutes to simmer to be nice and soft. I let "normal" beef goulash simmer for up to 2 hours.
  • Since I didn't have any fresh or frozen mushrooms in the house, I seared the mushrooms from the jar in butter, seasoned them and finally mixed in the herbs. Shortly before the goulash was done, I added the mushrooms, stirred in the jelly and refined everything with the cream.
  • Serve the goulash in a preheated bowl. We had boiled potatoes and a lamb's lettuce beforehand.
  • My conclusion from this test: Beef matured in this way can very well measure up to beef goulash in terms of taste and is cheaper.
