Hungarian Beef Goulash

From EatingWell: January/February 2008

This streamlined goulash skips the step of browning the beef, and instead coats it in a spice crust to give it a rich mahogany hue. This saucy dish is a natural served over whole-wheat egg noodles. Or, for something different, try prepared potato gnocchi or spaetzle.

READER'S COMMENT:

"Sounds good, but I've never had goulash with tomatos in it. Once upon a time had a wonderful recipe, but over the years it's disappeared, and since my memory is far from good I'm sure I'll make a beef soup. What I do remember is AT...

Love it

I've made this several times and my family loves it. I know that everyone keeps saying that it's not true Hungarian Goulash - I'm Irish and guess what we don't eat Corned Beef and Cabbage. It's just a bad title choice is all.
For the people who don't like the flavor maybe you don't like the Caraway Seeds flavor. I thought it was a little strong the first time I made it and I only use half the amount now (but that's our preference). We like to add carrot slices to the mix and we serve it over Spaetzle.
The beef comes out very tender and we love it.

Pros: Simple to make

Meh

I followed the recipe as stated. I used good quality chuck and organic (but not Hungarian) paprika. I served over bow-tie pasta with a glass of Barbera d'Asti. Maybe the wine overpowered the food?

The recipe is quick and easy, no exotic ingredients required and needs only a chopping boad and one sauce pan in addition to the crock pot so here's very little clean-up required.

I found the flavor a little lacking. I probably won't make this again.

Pros: Quick & easy, quick clean up

Very good and easy

I made this and thought it was very good. After reading the reviews I took the advice of one and used brown gravy mix instead of the cornstarch.Because I only had basic Paprika,I added 2 TBSP of sugar and some Cayenne.I also used venison instead of beef.I served it over egg noodles with some sour cream .Will make again.

Beautifully done!

My family really enjoyed this recipe. I definitely suggest finding the Hungarian paprika, I could tell a difference in flavor and color! I served it over egg noodles. Would totally make this again!

Pros: tasty, pretty in color, diffrent
