Easy Hungarian Goulash Recipe🇭🇺

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Brown the beef:
   Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
   Add beef cubes and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook onions and garlic:
   In the same pot, sauté onions until soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add spices & beef:
   Stir in paprika, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Return beef to the pot and stir to coat in spices.
4. Simmer:
   Pour in beef broth (or water) and add tomato paste if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender.
5. Add vegetables:
   Add carrots, potatoes, and red bell pepper. Simmer uncovered for another 20–30 minutes, until vegetables are cooked and sauce thickens.
6. Serve:
   Serve hot with crusty bread, noodles, or rice.

💡 Ashley’s Tips:

• For extra richness, add a splash of sour cream just before serving.
• Paprika is key — use Hungarian sweet paprika for authentic flavor.
• This goulash tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld. 😋
