This is not what passes for goulash in the US-namely ground meat, with elbow macaroni and tomatoes. This makes some attempt to recreate a more European original recipe, although I've taken plenty of liberties with a twist here and there. It all came out quite tasty and worth inclusion in my menu rotation. If you like this recipe, see others at my website: http://mybestcookbook.wordpress.com

How To Make old world hungarian goulash

  • 1
    Pat dry the meat before cubing and then salt and pepper liberally and dredge in flour. Heat about 3 tbsp of oil in a cast iron pot and begin browning the meat, in batches until all is done. Remove from the pot.
  • 2
    Add the onions, carrots and celery to the pot and saute until softened. Return the meat and add the stock, wine, and all seasonings except the parsley. Simmer for a couple of hours until meat is very tender.
  • 3
    Add the potato and parsnips and continue simmering until they are done. Serve with egg noodles and parsley. NOTE: If the stew is not sufficiently thickened, mash together softened butter and flour in equal amounts and add in small bits to the stew, bringing to a light boil until thickened. You can also make dumplings instead of the noodles.
