• 1/4 c. vegetable oil
• 10 oz. finely cut onions
• 1 ea red pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tbs chopped garlic

Directions
1. Heat the oil in a heavy bottom saucepan. Add the onions, garlic and the red pepper, cover and sweat onions until translucent.
2. Add the meat, stir together and season with salt. Cover and let sweat gently for several minutes. When meat takes on a cooked appearance, add paprika, caraway seeds, the pepper and the bay leaves, stir all together, cover and let cook on a low fire for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Add the tomatoes, stir and cover and return to a simmer. Adjust fire so the goulash simmers very gently and let cook, stirring occasionally until meat is tender. While the goulash is cooking, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Cook for one hour and check the meat for tenderness.
