This traditional Austrian Beef Goulash is the best Goulash recipe ever!<\/h2>\n

Today I share with you one of my most beloved recipes! Goulash! My whole family is crazy about this Austro-Hungarian Beef Stew and no matter how much I make, it never lasts as long as it should. Trust me, this is the best goulash recipe ever!<\/p>\n

What is Goulash and where does it come from?<\/h3>\n

Goulash is a hearty soup or stew with pork or beef, usually seasoned with sweet paprika and other spices like caraway seeds and marjoram. Originating from medieval\u00a0Hungary<\/b>, goulash is an extremely popular meal in Central Europe but also in other parts of Europe.<\/p>\n

What I show you today is not a Hungarian goulash but\u00a0a traditional Austrian recipe – Yes, while\u00a0goulash obviously originated in Hungary, Vienna made its own version and IT IS OUTRAGEOUS.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the\u00a0Hungarian goulash is rather thin compared to its Austrian cousin!<\/p>\n

Why this is the best Goulash recipe ever:<\/h3>\n

What makes this Viennese Beef Goulash Recipe special is the thick, savoury sauce! The interesting thing is that the sauce is actually mostly onions – sounds weird, right? Believe me, it’s crazy good!<\/p>\n

The secret to getting this beautiful flavorful onion sauce is to saute the onions and garlic and puree (!!) them before adding paprika and spices.<\/p>\n

The meat is not fried but actually added raw to this onion puree. It sounds strange but I promise, you’ll end up with the most tender meat ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Tips for making the best beef goulash:<\/h3>\n
The key to tender meat and a savoury, round sauce is slow cooking!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I like to cook\u00a0my Viennese Beef Goulash in a Dutch oven, which I just put into a 300 F hot oven with the lid on after adding the meat. \u00a0The beef releases its delicious juices over time and after 2,5 hours of simmering in this incredible beef- and onion sauce, the beef is super tender.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The signature goulash flavour comes from a perfectly balanced mix of sweet and smoked paprika along with some caraway seeds and marjoram.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I usually cook a big portion of\u00a0Goulash because it’s also one of those dishes that\u2019s even better as a \u201cleftover\u201d! You can simply serve it on top of pasta or just throw in more veg to “stretch” it a bit.<\/div>\n
