1
Toss the meat with the flour, paprika, and caraway seeds, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron casserole, then add the meat and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork begins to brown. Add the vinegar and stir for a couple of minutes, scraping up any brown bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.
2
Add the tomato paste, followed by the stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 1 hour. Check occasionally and add a little boiling water if the goulash begins to dry out too much - it should remain fairly thick, though.
3
Stir in the tomatoes, season to taste if needed, then top with the onion rings and parsley and serve.
