Hungarian Goulash (a Celebration of Paprika!)

Hungarian Goulash is a hearty beef soup or stew from Hungary that's loaded with vegetables and is truly a celebration of Paprika, the main pepper grown in Hungary. So comforting and easy to make! I hope you enjoy my Hungarian Goulash recipe.

Every family has their own version but according to the two grandmas I was blessed with, you did everything right.

Hi! I’m Hungarian and make goulash quite regularly (almost on a biweekly basis). You almost got it and it probably tastes very good, however please don’t use olive oil. It works sure but it’s a “sacrilege”. 😉 What you should really use is plain and simple lard. Also add sliced parsnips and about a fist sized celery root cut into 4 pieces (you can discard this later if you don’t like it, but it give a great taste). Also don’t forget to add either whole or ground caraway seeds.

Who's up at 7am watching goulash recipes videos?? This girl 🙋‍♀️. So far, your recipe is my favorite and I will be making it today. Perfect for a chilly day in Saint Louis, Mo 🙏🩷

I visited Budapest a few years back and when I got back, I made Goulash every week for like 3 months until I got sick of it. This video just reminded me of how good it is. Definitely need to get it in the rotation again!

You literally deserve millions of views. Your cooking videos are very inspiring and therapeutic, and mostly thanks to you being so down to earth guy. You're like super nice. Keep up the amazing work. :)

I am half Hungarian and kudos to you for your pronunciation of Budapest. I grew up eating this at least a few times a month during the cold weather. I now prefer the Austrian Goulash, equal weight of beef, and onions, seasoned generously with what else? PAPRIKA. Nice video.

This recipe reminded me when I visited Hungary about 10 years ago. I love this soup and finally I can cook it myself with this recipe. Thank you

I’ve been looking for a stew recipe for some elk I have from last years harvest. This looks like a great one to try. Thanks!

[kathrinlancelle]

I grew up with this stuff in Germany. Still make it regularly for my family here in Florida. I have improved on my mom's version I think, because mine is spicier. You are welcome to come over and sample whenever you like.

Mike, my mother loves you!! Both her parents were Hungarian and she grew up on goulash, introduced her to your other more traditional dishes you cook and she watches you on a loop! Really good stuff there my friend!!
Thanks Michael 👍!

[SoundSphere-rtjw]

I made this last weekend and loved it. I liked it so much I'm stewing it again for my company's potluck tomorrow.

[quincymims]

Made this last night - it’s really good. I used parsnips and a celery root instead of carrots based on the comments below. Interesting stew. Very tasty.

[randyn]

Looks amazing. I wish I could remember the Hungarian recipes I grew up with. They were amazing dishes.

Thanks for this great info and well presented video. I love goulash and usually spend a small fortune on Amazon for a very small jar of spices to cook it. This looks absolutely delicious and will be trying your method in the next couple of days. Your shakshuka is alwayss one of my go to dishes and the wife loves it also. Love and respect ❤
