June, finally a recipe for Goulash that is authentic, no pasta, no sour cream and no mozzarella (which are Italian) and especially the pinched dough for the soup. Thanks

Category: Goulash
Serves/Makes: 6 | Difficulty Level: 3 | Ready In: 1-2 hrs

Ingredients:

2 pounds beef chuck
1 teaspoon salt
2 onions, white or yellow
2 tablespoons lard or shortening
2 tablespoons imported sweet paprika (most important to use real Hungarian paprika for ultimate flavor)
2 bay leaves
1 Qt. water
4 peeled and diced potatoes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
***Egg dumpling batter:***
1 egg
6 tablespoons flour
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions:
This recipe is courtesy of June Meyers.

Here is a recipe for authentic Hungarian Goulash I learned to make from my grandmother and mother who were from Austria-Hungary. Every family has its own version of Goulash. My family would NEVER consider tomatoes or green peppers or other spices in Goulash. Some other dishes would have tomato or green pepper, but not Goulash. Slow cooking is the secret and you can never use too much paprika. I like to use 3 tablespoons. Hope you enjoy this dish, I have been raised on it. Regards, June Meyer.

Cut beef into 1 inch squares, add 1/2 tsp. salt. Chop onions and brown in shortening, add beef and paprika. Let beef simmer in its own juice along with salt and paprika for 1 hr. on low heat. Add bay leaves, water, diced potatoes, black pepper, and remaining salt. Cover and simmer until potatoes are done and meat is tender.

Prepare egg dumpling batter:

Add flour to unbeaten egg and salt. Mix well. Let stand for 1/2 hour for flour to mellow. Drop by teaspoonful into Goulash. Cover and simmer 5 minutes after dumplings rise to surface. Serve hot with dollops of sour cream.

I am for a recipe for a goulash that my father-in-law is craving (he is now in a nursing home, and does not eat very much). I would love to find this for him, my mother-in-law used to make it. It has beans, hamburger, vinegar, and I think potatoes. She used to fix it for him, I think it may have had ketchup also. I have tried to find it, please someone help me satisfy his craving for a dish his beloved used to make for him.

Thanks in advance,
Carolyn from Charleston, WV

RE: Goulash Recipe

Ingredients:
  • Equal amounts of stewing meat and onions.
  • 1/2 teaspoon per person paprika, some salt, some pepper, one bay leaf, a bit of butter, a pinch of flower.

Cut the onions into tiny, equal sized cubes. That is the secret for good goulash. When you sauté the onions in the butter, smaller bits get bitter (black) edges before the larger bits get browned. That part you have to attend to and sir them with a wooden spoon. You can NOT go check the email in between!

Try to get the onions browned evenly without any black edges.

In the meantime, heat up another frying pan with some butter in it, until the butter just starts to smoke. Throw the stewing meat cubes into it and sear them on all sides. That takes a lot of heat, so keep the heat on full until all sides of all cubes look like a done steak.

Toss the sauteed onions over the meat and stir.

Sprinkle paprika over that. Don't bother with the decorative paprika that comes in glass spice jars. Instead of that you might as well use colored sawdust. Use only the real Hungarian paprika that comes in foil pouches. Stir until all the melted butter and meat juice has been absorbed.

Sprinkle a pinch of flour over it and stir until the bottom of the frying pan looks dry and the flower has totally disappeared.

Now comes the excitement: Carefully pour cold water over it all, preferably from an old wine bottle. Be careful that the steam does not burn you. That's why you use a long necked bottle for that. The steam explosion is not just for show. It tears any small flour balls apart and makes sure that you don't get lumpy amateur gravy.

Add more water to about half an inch below the rim of the frying pan. When the water starts to simmer, that is the first time you turn the heat down. Up to this point it was all at MAX. Now turn it down so that it just barely keeps simmering.

If you have a hard to clean stove top, lay pieces of aluminum foil around the frying pan, because the simmering will cause it to spit a bit.

And NOW you can finally step away from the stove and go check your email. Just let the goulash simmer for an hour or more. Check occasionally to see if you have to turn down the heat a bit more or add water.

On the rare occasion when there are any leftovers, they can be frozen in ziplock bags or plastic containers. Let the bags freeze while laying flat. A thin package freezes and thaws out a lot faster.

Enjoy!

My Recipe

I think everyone's goulash recipe is different. Here's mine- adapted from my mothers.
  • 1 # hamburger, browned until all pink is gone, drain and rinse
  • 1 can chili beans
  • 1 can stewed tomatoes
  • About 4-5 ounces cooked macaroni, I just eyeball it.
  • A few shakes of chili powder
I don't use onion, but it could be added. Mix all together and heat until hot through. (02/14/2005)

SLUMGULION

My husband always talked about something his mom made that they called SLUMGULION (SP?) After questioning him about what ingredients he could remember, I figured it sounded close to what my grandma called Hungarian Goulash. When we moved to KY to take care of his dad, I found that his dad had written it in a cookbook. He only had the ing, not the amounts, so I had to experiment but Mike says it is pretty close to what he remembers his moms tasting like.
  • 1 pound hamburger, browned and drained (they say moms had some pretty large chunks of hamburger, so I make sure I don't "moosh" the hamburger too much) brown green pepper and onion in a little grease from the hamburger (I used one small onion and one small green pepper, cut into small pieces)
  • 2 cans kidney beans
  • 1 large can tomato sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
Cook this in large pot (can be done in crockpot). Cook about as long as you would chili. You might need to add a little water, if it seems too thick. When done, add about 1 cup cooked macaroni and cook a little longer. It should be a little "thicker" than chili. It's really good and easy too. Not sure how it keeps for leftovers, we never have any left :) You can experiment with the amounts, but tastes great on a cold snowy day. (12/08/2005)
