  • Beef can be tricky, so choose it well. For goulash, don't cut corners—go for tenderloin or another lean, tender cut. Rinse the piece, pat it dry with paper towels, and trim off any membrane and sinew. How you slice it is the next make-or-break step—it's the difference between meat that melts in your mouth and meat you have to chew your way through. Cut wide rounds off the large piece, the way you would for cutlets, always across the grain, then cut each round into small pieces. In a big bowl, toss the beef with the flour until every piece is coated all over; this helps the meat sear quickly and seal in its juices, keeping it tender. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet until it's good and hot. Sear the beef in small batches, stirring often and browning it evenly on all sides. Once it's all seared, return all the meat to the pan and add the sliced mushrooms, finely chopped garlic, diced onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onion turns soft and translucent. Add the canned tomatoes (cut up any whole ones first) and the broth, then simmer over low heat for 20–30 minutes, until the beef is tender and falls apart easily when pressed with a fork—it may take quite a bit longer depending on the meat. Along the way, season with salt to taste and the paprika. While the beef finishes turning tender (start this near the end so the pasta stays hot), cook the pasta—use whatever shape you like. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt and the pasta, stir well, and cook until done. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water, and divide among plates. Top with the beef goulash, scatter on a little fresh herbs and a spoonful of sour cream, and serve. Done!
