My version of Hungarian Goulash with melt-in-your mouth, tender beef that’s been slowly cooked in an incredibly rich broth. Tasty, comforting and perfect for the whole family!

Hungarian Goulash is a hearty meat stew that is a staple in Hungarian cuisine. It is traditionally made with beef, onions, paprika, and various vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers. Goulash is typically seasoned with caraway seeds, garlic, and bay leaves, and is often served with bread, egg noodles or spaetzle.freshly made hungarian goulash in a large pot.

This Hungarian classic stew does not rely on a flour or roux for thickening. Many versions also include potatoes, carrots or turnips. But I wanted to keep this version simple because I want to showcase how with just a few simple ingredients you can achieve incredible flavor. So let’s get into this melt in your mouth recipe from the old country and as they say in Hungary, edd meg!

Ingredients You’ll Need

ingredients needed to make hungarian goulash.

  • Olive oil – We will use olive oil to brown our beef. Browning your beef is key to develop a rich complex flavor which is essential when making such a simple recipe.
  • Stewing beef –  Stewing beef is generally from chuck or round cuts, tougher cuts that become flavorful and tender when cooked in stews. A less tough cut of beef will fall apart in a recipe like this.
  • Salt & pepper – My recipe calls for a teaspoon of each but you can tweak this seasoning if you desire.
  • Onion – Choose an onion that will hold up to a long, slow cook time. I used white for this recipe.
  • Garlic – I used fresh but if minced in a bottle is all you have, just remember that 1½ teaspoon is equal to one fresh clove of garlic.
  • Paprika – The paprika should really shine in this dish so I opted for sweet Hungarian paprika.
  • Caraway seed – This spice has a distinct warm flavor and gives this dish some brightness. We want these ground so if you can only find them sold whole just grind them with a mortar and pestle.
  • Oregano – Packed full of vitamins, this little herb packs more than just flavor. I used dried Oregano for this dish.
  • Bay leaves – This is an aromatic used in the cooking process, make sure to fish it out before serving the dish as it’s not meant to be eaten!
  • Brown sugar – We want to develop complex flavor and a thick rich sauce as we cook. This adds some crucial sweetness to the meat and the sauce.
  • Tomato sauce – The base to our sauce, tomato sauce lends some acidity to the dish to help balance out all our big flavors.
  • Balsamic vinegar – A nice dark vinegar like balsamic will help all our flavors really penetrate the meat as it cooks.
  • Beef broth – You’ll want to use no sodium added beef broth, we really want to make sure we control our sodium level in this dish.
  • Parsley – Chopped fresh for garnish.

How To Make Hungarian Goulash

The big difference between a traditional stew and Hungarian stews is that Hungarian stews do not rely on a flour or roux for thickening, which is why most of the time it’s more like a soup and it’s usually served over noodles, potatoes or spaetzle.
