      I like to stew it thicker, without that much fluid. To avoid burning it, I bring it to boil and then put in the oven at 250 F for 2 hours.
      I also add a couple table spoons of mild pepper (paprika) paste and a table spoon of hot pepper paste.
      If you slice beef to thin strips, you'll have what is called beef Stroganoff, named after count Stroganoff.
      A variant of this, simmered with sliced pickles added, is called азу (pronounced azu).

      recipe, with the beef being of secondary importance.

    Gulyás (the word means herdsman or cowboy in hungarian) was originally a stew and was prepared from beef, onions, paprika, potatoes and the other ingredients in one big bowl over open fire in the Puszta. Later it found its way into the kitchen and became 4 different dishes:
    1. Gulyás or Bográcsgulyás: A beef stew, where everything (fat, onions, beef, potatoes, paprika and other seasoning, sometimes vegetables, water and wine) is put together in a special order in a bowl and cooked for a long time, in the kitchen or over open fire.
    Easy to prepare for a big group of people if you have the right size of bowl, so it became a typical military food everywhere in Europe, or nowadays a festival food 😊. It can be thick or thin, with a deep red color. It’s a main course, a one and only course. Eat it with a spoon.
    2. Pörkölt: (Mostly this is called goulash in other parts of the world) A thick stew, made from the equal amount of onions and meat (not only beef, it can be made also from pork, sheep, wild, chicken, even fish. For beef, Gulyás is a better choice, because it is cooked longer) where the meat is scorched at first, before cooking it with the onions and paprika and other seasoning. No carrots or potatoes or whatsoever added! No flour used to thicken! The side dishes (egg noodles, dumplings, potatoes etc.) are prepared separately.
    It is thick, mostly colored dark brown or dark red. Main course. Best with pickles or other sorts of “sour salads”. Eat it with fork and knife.
    3. Paprikás: Like pörkölt, but with cooking instead of scorching, and adding sour cream to get an orange colored sauce. Main course. Eat it with fork and knife. And pickles! My favorite!
    4. Gulyásleves (goulash soup): A modern soup version of the original gulyás, with beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, paprika, garlic and cumin or caraway seed.
    It’s a thin, watery soup, dark or light red colored, sometimes not even red. If you try to order a goulash in a restaurant in Budapest, this is what you get most of the time. It is not considered a main course but a starter, combined best with sweet dishes or desserts. Eat it with a spoon.
    There are several subtypes of these, like “Székely” goulash, prepared with sauerkraut, or “paprikáskrumpli”, a potato goulash with sausage instead of meat, or the famous fish soup called “halászlé”. From the USA to Japan, you can find some sort of goulash everywhere. It is delicious if done right, easy to prepare, and not only in a kitchen, but also over an open fire. In every army, where hungarian Hussars were utilized, they learned how to make goulash too. In a big bowl (in Germany called Gulaschkanone, goulash canon) it can be prepared for hundreds of people simultaneously, that’s why it is known today everywhere in the world.
    I hope it will help you to find your favorite goulash!

    Made this following exact directions for my husband after a long day on the job, he walked in to this simmering on the stove. It would have been my moms 93rd birthday today and she made the hamburger macaroni version while we were growing up. So this had extra meaning today. My mom adored my husband. It was just a wonderful meal. When I work out at the gym I don’t play music, I play Chef John and plan dinner 😂. I agree He is precious and a calm in the midst of the storm

      The hamburger macaroni version is sometimes called American Chop Suey, sometimes goulash. It is a separate dish in it’s own right, but really has no relationship to Hungarian beef goulash. I wonder why it’s even called goulash? Or American Chop Suey? One of the world’s great mysteries, no doubt! It deserves another name altogether.

      Kons Varka use a lot of red onions, (most hungarians cook their goulash, actually pörkölt almost with 1:1 meat -onion ratio) and tomatoes and paprika as well. Cut the onions intosmall pieces, not so big as here so they can complet ,,dissolve,, as the meat cooks. This is the key to a thick pörkölt souce! Forget the balsamic vinegar, chicken stock, and the bay leaf. cumin is ok. You can also add a glas of red wine on to the meat. Sorry for the bad english.

    Always best to buy the chuck roast and cut yourself. Packages of pre-cut stew meat are often assembled by the butcher or meat department from the odds and ends from other different cuts. All those little scraps from different muscle groups often cook quite differently. Some might take longer or slower, resulting in some perfectly tender bites and some tough and chewy bites.

      In fact, I am currently holding Jon hostage in the basement of a mozzarella industry owned office building in [secretly looks up map of United States dairy farms] Lexington Nebraska, feeding him overdone chicken parm made with Kraft brand parmesan sogged over with store brand pre-made pizza sauce and shortening (in place of olive oil). Despite being in a mozzarella industry owned facility, there is in fact no mozzarella readily available, so I substituted it with processed white cheese.
      I am making him watch me gnaw on poorly cooked chicken wings and have a bottle of cayenne pepper at gun point.
      My only demand is that he cease all contact with that conniving slut spatula and any kitchen utensils it associates itself with.

    Went to Bulgaria in the late 80's with my parents and we stopped off at a hotel kitchen who served us goulash. I remember them bringing it out to us half cooked, then they poured some kind of methelated spirits into a bowl and set it in fire, so the goulash cooked in front of us on the table while we ate starters. It was fucking BOILING and I had to blow on it for 10 minutes before I could eat, but it was amazing. Still remember the taste now 30 years later.

    Folks,
    I get a kick out of all the comments about this not being authentic....most traditional recipes from pretty much anywhere in the world was peasant food and they used what was in season or in the pantry.
    Get over it there's probably as many versions of this and many other recipes as there are people who cook them....so lighten up and enjoy.....oh yeah this is 2015 and many things including recipes evolve over time.

      +william „bill from lachine“ mcduff I get it and I agree to some extent. But olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a traditional central European dish is just nonsense. Anyway just as Chef John said in the beginning of the video, this is Austrian recipe. Hungarian goulash is simpler (in most cases seasoned only with paprika and salt) and much thinner, almost like a soup.

      @williammcduff6531 Před 8 lety +8

      Anologrime,
      The best version I have and enjoy more than the traditional one involves equal amounts of meat and onions.
      It also has some tomatoes and tomato paste and lots of paprika.
      Try it you'll like it.

      william mcduff
      1:1 of meat and onions is how it's frequently done here in Czech Republic, so I'm very much familiar with it. Although to my taste, this much of onion adds too much sweetness to the stew. So I prefer it as follows:
      About 2:1 of meat and onion. Since the onion also serves as a thickening agent, my stew can seem to be too thin. In that case I thicken it with crumbled bread or rarely with dark roux. I only season with salt, Hungarian paprika and some black pepper. If I feel adventurous I even add some freshly ground caraway. The perfect side-dish are bread dumplings or fresh bread (sourdough rye and wheat bread).
      Yeah, I'm really into my goulash... :-)

    Ok, I just made this according to his recipe and it turned out great! Only small change I made was to let it simmer longer, like 3 hours. I'll be honest, I wasn't wild about the scent while it was cooking, but the longer it simmered, the better it smelled. It smelled like Deer stew in the beginning. I think next time I'll try it with beef broth and maybe add a can of succotash because I think it needs more veggies, carrots for sure. Wife baked a fresh crusty loaf and we ate like Royalty today! I'm GW and I recommend this recipe! 😉

    Well, we Hungarians when say "goulash" means a soup with vegetables carrot, parsly etc.for us. It's called in Hungary gulyás-leves "goulash soup". It can be made of beef, veal, pork maybe turkey. The recipe introduced in the video we call "marha pörkölt" beef stew. Some remarks to the video. At Hungarian homes we never prepare this way i.e. heating-up the meat first. Maybe restorants do this way, I don't know.
    To add vinegar and OLIVE oil??? is total fault. Never! The autentic recipe:
    Heat-up the shredded onions on pork fat first. After 5-10 mins add meat. Heat until meat gets white. Add salt, red paprika powder, pepper, cumin, some (2-3 dl )water and garlic. Slow boiling for 2,5 - 3 hours. At the end of boiling add 1-2 dl red wine, and boil over 10 mins. The recipe valid for pork meat as well, red wine can be missed. Enjoy.
