Beef Goulash! Thick Hungarian Soup, Sparse Austrian Stew, Or None Of The Above?

I’m non certain how authentic this goulash recipe is, since the recipe I exercise is adapted from 1 past times Austrian chef Wolfgang Puck. Republic of Austria is Hungary-adjacent, together with I’m pretty certain they were the same province once, but still, the Puckmeister’s version, farther modified past times me, is closer to a stew called "Pörkölt." Apparently truthful goulash, or Gulyás, is much to a greater extent than similar a soup, together with is served amongst dumplings.

Okay, 2 things. First, when it comes to a primary course, I similar stew to a greater extent than than soup. If you lot wishing to remain truer to the original, add together to a greater extent than liquid. That’s non going to bother me, or Wolfgang. Also, since I function inwards a universe ruled past times Google, I went amongst “goulash” since it’s a grand times to a greater extent than recognizable than pörkölt. When’s the final fourth dimension you lot heard individual nation they were craving a large bowl of pörkölt?

Of course, none of this helps my American viewers who, cheers to the cafeteria ladies from our childhoods, intend “goulash” is a tomato, hamburger, together with elbow macaroni casserole. I’m assuming that variation was born when unopen to Hungarian (or Austrian?) immigrant tried to stretch the final few ladles of soup/stew into unopen to other total meal.

Anyway, forthwith that we’ve cleared upward absolutely nothing, I tin verbalize almost this gorgeous dish of food. I adore everything almost this dish. The coloring is stunning, the beef is viscous together with succulent, together with paprika-based sauce is incredible.

By the way, I’ve heard from my people on YouTube that this is never served on noodles. How produce you lot say, “whatever” inwards Hungarian? Despite our questionable naming, ingredients, together with side dish, this made for a fantastic wintertime dinner, together with I promise you lot order it a endeavor soon. Enjoy!
