Austrian Beef Goulash

There was a great deal of cross-pollination in food between Austria and Hungary, though each nation adapted to suit its tastes (note the very different cooking styles between the Austrian goulash and the Hungarian paprikas). Read more Goulash is Austrian; gulyas is Hungarian. Goulash is more soup-y than gulyas, and it a different entity, but a delicious one. The added vegetables, by the way, are not traditional; I have added them to make the recipe more acceptable to Americans (but feel free to leave them out). You'll note that there is no stock in this recipe — partly because the beef will make its own stock as the soup cooks, but mostly because the primary flavor in this recipe is the paprika. Please use only Hungarian paprika, such as Noble Rose; paprika that is not specifically labelled Hungarian is Spanish, and is comparatively flavorless (though it's good for coloring and browning things). You can add a #2 1/2 can of tomatoes if you like. See less
