Rustic Beef Goulash (Traditional Beef Stew)

This hearty beef goulash recipe is a rich and comforting traditional beef stew, packed with tender chunks of beef, sweet red peppers, and a deep, smoky Hungarian paprika flavour. It's slow-simmered in a fragrant beef broth and tomato sauce, developing a bold, savoury depth with every bite. Whether you're craving a cozy dinner or a nostalgic taste of Hungarian goulash, this dish hits the mark. Serve it with egg noodles, macaroni noodles, boiled potatoes, buttery garlic mash or a slice of crusty sourdough bread for the full experience. Optionally add a dollop of sour cream or soured cream on top for a silky, creamy texture.
