Peel and dice the onions (large pieces are okay).

Heat a pan and add some lard or frying oil.

Add the diced onions to the pan and fry until they soften and start turning brown.

Add 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds, half a teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika.

Add the diced beef and fry together with the onions and spices until the beef is covered in spices.

Add a few pinches of salt (about a leveled teaspoon).

Cover the mixture in boiling water and put the pressure cooker lid on.

Cook for 45 minutes, then turn the cooker off and release the steam to open the lid.

Taste the sauce to check if more salt is needed, depending on the sweetness of the onions.

Add 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of dried marjoram, 1 teaspoon of caraway, and 1 teaspoon of paprika; stir well.

Put the lid back on and cook for another 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, release the lid and add another teaspoon of dried marjoram, rubbing it with fingers to release the flavor.

Cook the goulash over medium heat until it thickens, stirring occasionally.

Once thickened, transfer the goulash into a bowl for serving.
