"Goulash" and "Chocolate Tiramisu With Pears"

Hello everyone!

First, I am really sorry for not writing very often. I have been very busy recently, and did not cook anything, especially this week because my husband was out of town, and I do not normally eat anything but vegetables.

However, yesterday I made dinner, because my husband arrived in the evening.

So, we had my favorite version of "Goulash" and "Chocolate Tiramisu With Pears"
Let's begin with the "Goulash"



Ingredient:

1 pound Beef
3 Grated Carrots
1 Chopped Onion
1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
4 tablespoons Tomato Paste
Pepper seeds
Bay leaf
Fresh Ground Pepper
Paprika

Directions:

1. In a large, deep pan fry chopped onion, and grated carrots
2. Wash and dry beef with a paper towel, cut into small cubes
3. Add meat to the pan, fry for 15 min
4. Add all-purpose flour, and tomato paste, fry for 5 min
5. Add boiling water (the consistency of the goulash should be medium, not too thick, and not too liquid, and the amount of water depends on a size of your pan)
6. Salt, pepper, add pepper seeds, paprika, and bay leaf, mix everything well
7. Reduce heat to a minimum, cover and cook for 25 min

* Serve over some rice, mashed potatoes, or spaghetti
