In a large pot over medium heat, add oil. Add onion and caraway seeds, saute for 8 minutes or until onion starts to soften. Add beef and cook for 10 minutes or until meat is browned. Drain and return to stove.
Add paprika, cook for 2 minutes. Add beef broth, bring to boil, scraping up browned bits at bottom of pot. Reduce heat to low and stir in potato, parsnip, carrot and garlic. Simmer for 15 min.
Stir in celery, peas and mushrooms. Continue to simmer for 10 min or until veggies and meat are very tender. Stir in parsley, season with salt and pepper.
Notes
I always loved my dad's goulash, it's very hearty with a spicy tang. Very important to use smoked paprika to add that tang.
