Goulash is a dish that is a transitional state between a thick soup and a meat stew, and is also a national gastronomic symbol of Hungarian cuisine, has many interpretations. However, there is a base: in addition to the basic meat of beef (or even pork), it is important to add potatoes, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. Since Soviet times, tomato paste has been added to this hit called "meat sauce" instead of tomatoes. If the dish does not seem thick enough, you can add flour at the end , but goulash comes out great without it.
