Home-style meat goulash

6 servings

60 minutes

Homemade meat goulash is a fragrant and hearty dish of Hungarian cuisine that embodies the traditions of warm family dinners. Its history dates back to Hungarian shepherds who cooked meat in cauldrons over an open fire. Goulash has a rich flavor thanks to the combination of juicy pork fillet, sweet onions, and tomato paste that creates a pleasant tanginess. Bay leaves and a mix of peppers add depth to the dish, while flour makes the sauce thick and silky. This goulash pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or fresh bread that absorbs the appetizing sauce. It is suitable for cozy family lunches and dinners, filling the home with aromas of spices and homely warmth.
