Traditional Croatian Goulash
This Croatian goulash starts with beef marinated in mustard and spices, then browned and simmered with aromatic vegetables. Red wine and a long, slow cook create a rich, tender stew. It's the kind of dish that benefits from simmering until the meat is fork-tender. Serve it with fresh bread to soak up all the sauce.

Prep and Marinate Beef
Trim any veins from the beef and cut it into roughly 3 × 3 cm pieces. Toss the beef with mustard and spices, then let it marinate in the refrigerator for one hour. - 02
Brown the Beef
Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil (or pork fat, if you have it) in a heavy pot. Sear the beef on all sides until it's deeply browned. Transfer the browned meat to a plate and set aside, then add another tablespoon of oil to the pot.
