Step by step
Get ahead
Make up to the end of step 2 a day ahead; reheat gently on the hob to serve.
-
Preheat the oven to 160°C, fan 140°C, gas 3. Put the flour, 1 tbsp of the paprika, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl and stir to combine. Add the steak and toss to coat, shake off excess flour and place in a large casserole dish.
-
Add the onion, garlic, chilli, tomato purée, the remaining paprika, vinegar, stock, tomatoes, bay leaves and lemon peel. Bring to the boil over a medium heat, then cover the dish and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours.
-
To finish, heat the oil and butter in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the mushrooms for 3-5 minutes. Stir into the goulash and scatter with parsley. Serve with gnocchi and soured cream.
