Beef Goulash🇭🇺

Instructions:

  1. Sauté onions – Heat lard/oil in a large pot. Add onions and cook until golden brown.
  2. Add beef & garlic – Stir in beef cubes, browning lightly. Add garlic and stir.
  3. Paprika & caraway – Remove pot briefly from heat (to avoid burning paprika), stir in paprika and caraway. Mix well.
  4. Tomatoes & peppers – Add chopped tomatoes and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Simmer – Pour in broth/water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 1.5–2 hours, until beef is tender.
  6. Vegetables – Add carrots, potatoes, and parsnip. Simmer until vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes more.
  7. Season – Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.

To Serve:

  • Traditionally enjoyed with csipetke (Hungarian pinched noodles), but crusty bread works perfectly.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

This dish is a Hungarian classic, warming and full of paprika flavor ❤️.

Would you like me to also include a quick csipetke noodle recipe so you can make it the traditional way?
