Goulash is one of the favorite dishes of Hungarian shepherds. Gradually, this dish has reached us. True, the cooking process has also changed a little. Now it is stewed not in a cauldron over a fire, but in a deep frying pan. But the composition of the main products in modern recipes has remained almost unchanged: meat with tomato paste and flour.

How to cook Goulash with tomato sauce

Step 1

Wash the meat, dry it and cut it into large cubes.

Step 2

Fry chopped onion and garlic in heated oil until golden brown.

Step 3

Place the meat in the pan and fry for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add salt, pepper, flour, mix thoroughly and fry for another 2-3 minutes, continuing to stir.

Step 4

Add tomato sauce and stir well again. Pour 2-3 cups of water into the goulash, stir, add bay leaf and simmer under a lid on low heat for 60-90 minutes.

Step 5

When serving, sprinkle the goulash with fresh chopped herbs.

Goulash with tomato sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of meat for this goulash?

Yes! Beef is traditional, but pork, chicken, or even lamb work well. Adjust cooking time—chicken may need less time to avoid drying out.

What can I substitute for tomato sauce if I don't have any?

Try crushed tomatoes, tomato paste diluted with water, or even a can of diced tomatoes blended smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

How can I make this goulash vegetarian?

Swap meat for hearty mushrooms, eggplant, or lentils. Use vegetable broth instead of water, and add smoked paprika for depth.

What's the best way to store leftovers?

Cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to loosen.

Can I freeze this goulash?

Absolutely! Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove, stirring occasionally.

What sides pair well with goulash?

Try egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. A crisp green salad balances the richness.

How can I thicken the sauce if it's too thin?

Simmer uncovered to reduce, or mix 1 tsp cornstarch with cold water and stir it in. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to thicken.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Yes! Sear meat and onions first, then transfer to a slow cooker with remaining ingredients. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
