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.

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

Yes! Beef is traditional, but pork, chicken, or even lamb work well. Adjust cooking time—chicken may need less time to avoid drying out.
Try crushed tomatoes, tomato paste diluted with water, or even a can of diced tomatoes blended smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Swap meat for hearty mushrooms, eggplant, or lentils. Use vegetable broth instead of water, and add smoked paprika for depth.
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.
Absolutely! Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove, stirring occasionally.
Try egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. A crisp green salad balances the richness.
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.
Yes! Sear meat and onions first, then transfer to a slow cooker with remaining ingredients. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
