with veggie beef fillets

Sear the veggie beef fillets in batches in oil (high heat). Add the diced onions and sugar and reduce the heat slightly. Let everything cook for a while; the onions can also get some roasted flavors. Then add the tomato paste and fry briefly, then do the same with the paprika. Finally, add the mustard and mix. Immediately deglaze with the beer, a little at a time (!), waiting briefly until it thickens a little. Then slowly add the passata and reduce the heat. In a mortar and pestle, mix the finely diced garlic with the marjoram, caraway seeds, salt and lemon zest to a paste and add it. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, add the ingredients one at a time. Finally, cover the goulash and let it simmer on low heat for at least an hour, stirring occasionally. This goes well with rice, pasta or potatoes.
