Two pounds of onions cooked to deep gold is the base and it is twenty-five minutes at a pan.
>> step: render the onions 25 min, deep golden
Render @lard{2%Tbs}, @yellow onions{2%lb}(900 g; thinly sliced) in a heavy #skillet{} for ~render{25%min}, until deep golden and reduced to a quarter of their volume.
>> step: bloom the paprika off the heat, stir the beef in
Bloom @Hungarian sweet paprika{1/4%cup}(30 g), @caraway seed{1%tsp}, @garlic{4%cloves}(minced) in @&(~1)onions{} off the heat, then stir in @beef chuck{3%lb}(1.4 kg; cut in 1-in cubes), @kosher salt{1%Tbs} to coat every cube.
>> step: stew on low, 8 hr
Slow cook @&(~1)paprika base{} with @beef stock{2%cup}(475 mL), @tomato{1%large}(chopped), @green pepper{1}(chopped), @Yukon Gold potatoes{1%lb}(450 g; cut in 2-in chunks) in a #slow cooker{} on low for ~slow cook{8%hr}, lid on.
>> step: reduce on high, lid off
Reduce @&(~1)goulash{} on high with the lid off for ~reduce{20%min}, until it is a thick soup rather than a thin one — a gulyás should coat the back of the spoon it is eaten with.
