Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef — For the best results, choose lean cuts of beef such as sirloin or tenderloin. Trim any excess fat before cubing the meat to ensure a healthier dish.
- Smoked paprika — If you can't find smoked paprika, you can substitute it with regular paprika. However, the smoky flavor adds a unique element to the dish.
- Caraway seeds — Toasting the caraway seeds before adding them to the stew will enhance their aroma and flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a richer flavor, marinate the beef cubes in the paprika and caraway seeds overnight before cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the stew during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- To add a touch of freshness, garnish the dish with chopped parsley or dill before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
- This dish pairs well with a glass of Austrian red wine, such as Blaufränkisch or Zweigelt.
Serving advice
Serve the Fiakergulasch hot, with the fried egg placed on top of the stew. The yolk adds a creamy richness to the dish when mixed with the sauce. Accompany it with a side of buttered noodles and pickles for a complete Austrian dining experience.
Presentation advice
To present the Fiakergulasch beautifully, place a generous portion of the stew in the center of a plate. Arrange the egg noodles around the stew, creating a nest-like shape. Top the stew with the fried egg, and garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs for an elegant touch.
