Hungarian Goulash Recipe
(Beef Stew)


This Hungarian Goulash recipe (although not technically German in origin) is a popular beef stew variety throughout Germany and the rest of Central Europe that can be made as mild or spicy as you like. Technically, “real” Hungarian goulash is a soup, but it has somehow morphed into a stew outside of Hungary. This recipe is for that morphed stew version, although many German menus will have both a goulash (stew) and a goulash soup on offer.

Like the burn? Add more spicy paprika and less sweet paprika, or add crushed dry pepper.

You can also try this recipe with half beef and half pork.

If you want the stew to serve as a stand-alone meal, add 3 peeled and diced potatoes to the pot prior to simmering.
