This is my Beef Goulash Recipe - SUPER TASTY!

This beef goulash is a hearty, warming stew of slow-cooked, fall-apart beef in a rich and slightly smoky tomato and paprika sauce. You can make it in the oven or the slow cooker. I love to use two different types of paprika for extra layers of flavour. This is my version, passed down to me from my dad and it’s the best I’ve ever had. I’ll happily admit - this isn’t a 100% authentic Hungarian goulash. Traditional goulash, I’m told, is more of a soup that doesn’t rely on flour for thickening. Tomato is also a fairly modern addition. My version (passed down from my Dad, with a few little tweaks) is a rich, slightly smoky, tomato-based version. I like to add slices of red bell pepper, then serve with pappardelle pasta and lots of sour cream.
