Cooking Steps

Gather all your ingredients and have them ready. Cube the beef chuck roast into bite-sized pieces, and dice the onions and bell peppers.
In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions until they become translucent, then stir in the minced garlic and bell peppers, cooking until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef cubes to the pot. Brown them on all sides until they're nicely seared.
Sprinkle in the sweet Hungarian paprika, along with salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Stir well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
Pour the beef broth into the pot until all the ingredients are submerged. Stir, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 2 hours. Stir occasionally until the beef is fork-tender.

Notes

Optional: Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor! Store leftover goulash in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
