1. Cook Goulash
In classic goulash, the meat is not fried, the onion cubes (the same amount as meat) are fried brown, roasted briefly with tomato puree, then sprinkled with sweet paprika (do not roast paprika, it is bitter), the meat is added and immediately infused with broth. After or during a cooking time of 60-90 minutes, season with salt, pepper, marjoram, grated untreated lemon peel, chopped caraway seeds and crushed cloves of garlic. The onions are supposed to bind the goulash, a maximum of one finely grated potato is added by professional chefs and chefs for tying. The classic goulash is rounded off by fine seasoning with freshly ground Piement.2. Beef Goulash, the right Goulash Meat, for German and Austrian Goulash
The best goulash meat comes from the front or rear knuckle of beef. These cuts are strong in taste, juicy, boil buttery soft (also the tendons) and do not disintegrate fibrous. The meat from the neck of beef, on the other hand, is leaner, boils fibrous and is therefore not optimally suited. Noble goulash is cut from the shoulder or even from the fillet, there are innumerable variants of goulash which I would like to briefly touch in the following. Goulash won’t be tough if you use the right meat.3. How long should a Goulash be Cooked?
The cooking time depends on the type of meat and the size of the beef cubes. Rinderwade in the cube size 3 cm needs about 1.5 hours, the meat should be cooked butter soft.
4. Goulash Meat and Onion, the right amount …macht´s 🙂
Use goulash meat and onions in the same proportion.
5. Fry Onions light brown, this is the most Important Step in Preparing Goulash
The onions are slowly roasted brown in oil or lard, after adding tomato puree (and some sugar – insider tip), briefly continue roasting, the sweet paprika is dusted and immediately extinguished with broth. The paprika must not roast any more, otherwise it becomes bitter.

Peel and finely dice the onion, cut the meat into about 40-50 g cubes and sauté vigorously in a pot with a little oil. Remove the meat from the pot and sweat the onion cubes with a little more oil until light brown.
Put the meat back in the pot, roast further with the tomato paste, add the paprika powder and deglaze with the beef stock. Lightly braise the Viennese goulash with the lid on a low heat for about 1 hour.
Add the chopped garlic and the remaining finely chopped spices and continue to stew with the lid gently flowing. The meat should be pithy soft towards the end of the cooking time.
