QUICK HUNGARIAN GOULASH
I found this recipe in one of those cookbooks you can buy at the check out stand. I've altered it to fit my allergies and my family's tastes. The original recipe called for 1 lb of boneless beef sirloin cut into thin strips, but I actually prefer to use ground beef. Serving size is 1 1/4 cups.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH I
A spicy way to dress up stew beef. My mom made this when we were kids, and we loved it. It is spicy while not mouth-burning! Can be made with cheaper cuts of beef, and comes out very tender. If it gets too thick, add a little water while it's cooking. Garnish with sour cream.

Steps:
- Heat up the oil or lard in a pot and braise the chopped onions in it until they get a nice golden brown colour
- Sprinkle the braised onions with paprika powder while strirring them to prevent the paprika from burning.
- Add the beef cubes and and sautee them till they turn white and get a bit of brownish colour as well.
- The meat will probably let out its own juice, let the beef-cubes simmer in it while adding the grated or crushed and chopped garlic (grated garlic has stronger flavour), the ground caraway seed, some salt and ground black pepper, the bayleaf, pour water enough to cover the content of the pan and let it simmer on low heat for a while.
- When the meat is half-cooked (approx. in 1,5 hour, but it can take longer depending on the type and quality of the beef) add the diced carrots and the potatoes, the cellery leaf and some more salt if necessary (vegetables tend to call for more salt). You'll probably have to add some more (2-3 cups) water too.
- When the vegetables and the meat are almost done add the tomatoe cubes and the sliced green peppers. Let it cook on low heat for another few minutes. You can remove the lid of the pan if you want the soup to thicken.
- Hungarian goulash is neither a soup nor a stew, its somewhere in between. Though in Hungary its considered rather to be a soup than a stew.
- The soup is hearty enough without any pasta just serve with some fresh bread

EASY HUNGARIAN GOULASH
This is a traditional Hungarian beef dish served over buttered noodles for a hearty, satisfying meal. The amounts of garlic, onions, and especially paprika may seem excessive, but they all melt into an incredibly rich and flavorful pan gravy during the slow cooking process. The sauce is further enriched by the addition of sour cream. (Have not made yet.)

Steps:
- Place beef chunks in a large bowl. Sprinkle liberally with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Toss with the flour.
- Heat a heavy Dutch oven over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Place beef chunks in a single layer and brown on two sides. You will probably need to do this in batches. Do not crowd the meat or it will boil instead of brown. Remove browned beef chunks to a bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. To the drippings in the Dutch oven, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sweet onion rings, mushrooms, and garlic. Toss to coat with the olive oil. Cover tightly and sweat the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until onions are limp but not browned and mushrooms are releasing their liquid, about 10 minutes.
- Add red wine to the vegetables and cook 2 minutes. Add beef broth and paprika. Return beef to the pan. Stir until well-combined. Cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer on low heat for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until beef is fork-tender.
- Remove Dutch oven from heat and wait for boiling to subside. Taste and add additional salt if necessary. Stir in sour cream until completely incorporated into the gravy.
- Serve Hungarian gulash over hot buttered noodles with chopped parsley.
- Note: The amount of paprika is correct. Please do use it all. If you cannot use the wine, use an equal amount of additional beef broth. The goulash may be frozen, before the addition of the sour cream. Reheat and add the sour cream just before serving.

HUNGARIAN GOULASH

Our version is served over a plate of freshly cooked egg noodles for a hearty comfort food dinner that can be served any night of the week.

Tips for Making Hungarian Goulash:
- Use high-quality beef: Choose a chuck roast or beef stew meat with good marbling for a richer flavor. - Brown the beef in batches: This helps to develop a deep, caramelized flavor in the meat. - Use a good quality paprika: Hungarian paprika is essential for authentic goulash. Look for a paprika that is deep red in color and has a slightly smoky flavor. - Simmer the goulash for at least 1 hour: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. - Serve the goulash over egg noodles or mashed potatoes: These are traditional accompaniments to goulash. - Garnish the goulash with sour cream and chopped parsley: These add a touch of freshness and flavor. ###Conclusion:
Hungarian goulash is a delicious and hearty stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, with more or less vegetables, goulash is a versatile dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
