Authentic Beef Chuck Goulash

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Just wanted to add that depending on the area you came from is whether a dill pickle or tomatoes was put into the dish..this is not however authentic to the dish. It's really an opt. thing. My parents and ancestors came from the Austrian-Hungarian area later then born to Croatia and Slovania. They cooked this dish often more like every Sat. never using ground meat either. Beef or chicken was used If you use chicken it was called Paprikash. In the Summer months when the gardens were full of Hargarian yellow pepper they were added to the dish and since they liked it a bit on the spicy side a little chili powder. Gives it a zip. Potatoes, dumplings were the way to go..the hint to a good goulash was to quickly brown the onions golden brown then add your meat and brown on all sides before adding everything. It's delicious. Mom made her own sauerkraut but I never remember it being added to anything but stuffed pepper where they added half shredded cabbage and half sauerkraut to keep it sweeter. Hope that helps.. Enjoy and thanks for the recipe
