Dab the meat dry and possibly cut it a little smaller. Peel and chop onion and garlic. Wash the thyme and pluck the leaves from the stalks
Fry the meat in hot oil in portions. Remove. Sauté onion and garlic in frying fat. Briefly sauté the tomato paste
Add meat again. Sprinkle flour over it. Season with salt, pepper, paprika powder and thyme. Add 3/4 l water. Bring to the boil, cover and stew for about 1 1/2 hours
Clean, wash and roughly dice the peppers. After about 30 minutes add to the goulash. Stir in lemon zest about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Season to taste. Goes well with boiled potatoes or noodles
Tip: With 500 g potato cubes and 3/4 l more broth you can make a stew out of the paprika goulash in no time
