20110312 Steak and Mushroom Goulash

(SOURCE: BBC GoodFood 101 One-pot dishes - Steak and Mushroom Goulash)

This dish was so easy to make and so yummy with some fresh, crunchy garlic bread. Next time I may add one finely chopped onion too to make the sauce even richer.

INGREDIENTS
350g rump steak, cut into thin strips
1 tbsp vegetable oil
100g mushrooms, quartered
1 tbsp paprika
450g potatoes, cut into small cubes
250g passata
425ml beef stock
natural yoghurt, at room temperature
handful of parsley leaves, roughly chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD
1. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat half the oil in a pan and brown the steak for about 2 minutes. Remove the steak to a plate.
2. Tip the mushrooms into the pan, lower the heat and fry until the mushrooms begin to color. Sprinkle in the paparika and stir fry briefly, then tip in the potatoes and passata and enough stock to cover the potatoes. Stir well, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
3. Return the meat to the pan with its juices, stir well and simmer for about 3 minutes. Serve topped with yoghurt and parsley.
