John fell asleep while watching South Park. He sleeps like a fucking baby now that he has this new job. 5 am. He has to wake up that early 5 days a week while going to school for 6. The job pays great, but I know he only took it because of me. "For our future".
So while he's passed out I decided to make us some dinner. Tonight, we're having beef goulash.
Mmmmmm. . . Right? So I got right on the iPhone
(the best invention ever made), looked at a few recipes and made one up.
Ingredients:
1 pound beef cubes
22 oz of desired marinara sauce
1/2 white onion
4 minced cloves of garlic, separated in half
10 chopped baby carrots
1 cup celery
1 cup water
1 cup beef broth
2 tbs Italian seasoning
2 bay leaves
1 tsp crushed red pepper
2 cans of tomato paste
3/4 tbs paprika
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2, 1/4 tbs salt, separated
1/4 tsp parsley
1/2 tbs black pepper seperated
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 cup flour
1 tbs olive oil
Splash of sirracaha
(I love spicy food)
Egg noodles

(2 on stove setting) add tomato paste and marinara in a pot. Then add Worcestershire sauce, sirracha, carrots, half of the garlic, celery, 1/4 black pepper, parsley, 1/4 tbs salt, brown sugar, paprika, water, beef broth, crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning and bay leaves. Let simmer.
Add additional salt and pepper to flour in a freezer bag. Add steak pieces and shake. Remove excess flour and brown in pan with olive oil, onions and remaining garlic.
