A few key ingredients go into making a tremendous old-fashioned goulash. The first is beef. I like to use an excellent, lean cut, like a flank or round steak. You could also use pork or lamb if you prefer. Then you need some vegetables. I like onions, carrots, and celery, but you can get creative here and use whatever you have.
The next ingredient is tomato sauce. You can use store-bought or make your own from scratch.
And finally, the key to any good goulash is the spices. I like to use garlic, paprika, and black pepper. But feel free to experiment with your favorite spices recipe.
What Are Cooking Instruments & Cooking Time?
Now, you can use whatever you have on hand regarding cooking instruments. I like to use a big pot or Dutch oven, but a skillet will do the trick, too. As for cooking time, I would say that this goulash recipe is pretty forgiving.
You can let it simmer for a while on the stove, or you can pop it in the oven and let it cook while you’re doing other things. The important thing is to ensure the beef is cooked before you call it done.
