This recipe comes from a cookbook called Anniversary Slovak-American Cookbook, published in 1952. This goulash tastes just like the goulash I ate in Prague.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs beef, cut into cubes (can also use 1/2 pound beef, 1/2 pound pork, and 1/2 veal)
  • 2 tablespoons oil or fat
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1/2 green pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons paprika (to taste)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oil in a heavy skillet. Add onion and cook over low heat until lightly yellowed.
  2. 2
    Add paprika and blend well. Add meat, green pepper, salt, and water.
  3. 3
    Cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  4. 4
    Add more water if desired, although mixture should not be overly soupy when finished cooking.
  5. 5
    Serve over hot boiled potatoes or topped with dumplings. (I use Recipe#171228).

While this was not the one my husband is used to, I found it pretty tasty. I also cooked it in the crock pot on low instead of standing in front of the stove for 2 hours...made the beef very tender! I would say that the only thing I will change next time is to add some more spice to it, salt for sure, as it is pretty bland otherwise. But we will definitely be making it again!

    Really good and actually economical. I used lean stew meat, browned the onions and meat in a heavy pan, added the seasonings and deglazed the pan with the water. Then everything went into the crockpot on low for several hours. The meat was so tender with just the right amount of gravy for Poppy Seed and Green Onion Noodles.

    I made this with cubed veal, a half green pepper and a half red pepper and I added a tablespoon of minced garlic in step two. I was cooking mine in a non-stick pan, so I needed only about half the oil. I also used only about half a teaspoon of salt, and merlot instead of water. I have difficulty adding water to recipes. I always want to opt for something more flavoursome! VERY tasty! Loved the paprika in this. And I'm sure it's much lower in fat than the nutritional information indicated. The quantity I made was ample for four. We ate this served over noodles.
