AND
HUNGARIAN GOULASH
2 1/2 lbs beef stew meat
1 bell pepper (chopped)
2 slices of bacon (chopped coarsely)
1 small onion (chopped)
sweet Hungarian paprika
1/2 cup dry white wine
salt
pepper
beef bouillon cubes, to taste
1 package egg noodles
Brown bacon, remove and set aside, draining all but 1-2 tablespoons. Brown beef in remaining 1-2 tablespoons of bacon fat (olive oil may be substituted), then remove, drain.
Cook onion and bell pepper until soft. Add browned beef. Add wine, salt, pepper, and paprika (about 1/4 teaspoon, or to your taste).
Continue to taste and adjust seasonings throughout the cooking process, (especially paprika). Cover and cook on low or medium, adding water as needed. Stir in 1 beef bouillon cube per cup of water added (more or less, to your taste).
Best if beef is cooked all day, at least 4 hours. When beef is ready, cook egg noodles according to package directions. Remove meat and set aside.
Thicken gravy with flour. Add beef to gravy and serve over egg noodles.
AND
BEEF STEW, HUNGARIAN STYLE
1/4 c. butter or vegetable oil
1-2 med. onions, chopped
1 1/2 lb. stewing beef (chuck), cubed
1 tsp. salt or to taste
1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 tbsp. sweet Hungarian paprika
1/2 tsp. dried marjoram, crumbled
1/2 tsp. caraway seeds (in strainer or cheesecloth)
2 carrots, scraped & cut in 2" pieces
2 stalks celery, cut in 2" pieces
1 green pepper, cut in 1" pieces
1-2 tomatoes, cut up (seasonal)
3/4 c. sour cream, for serving (optional)
Heat butter, saute onions until soft and golden. Add beef, stir, then other ingredients. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour. Stir occasionally and add water if needed. Taste for seasoning, cook until tender. This may take up to 2 hours. I add 1/2 beef bouillon cube for added flavor, if needed. Serve with noodles or potatoes.

I make tons of Hungarian dishes. Let me know what your working with and I will tell you how to cook it. From pastries to Hurka (pig head sausage).
Soup
2-4 Cloves for garlic cut up
5-8 potatoes
Boil until potatoe is near done
Add 1 cut up cabbage
Add 1-3 cups sausage
In frying pan make a rue
Butter or lard melted
Stir in flour until a paste forms
Keep stirring while it cooks
Add to soup to thicken
Cabbage and noodles
cut up 1 cabbage and salt heavy
cover and let set for a few hours
Put cabbage in a towel and twist all the water out
Add to frying pan
Cook any noodle you want (preferably a thicker noodle like x wide egg)
fry cabbage and noodles together until some turn brown and crunchy
Serve with sour cream
Potatoes and noodles are fantastic as well do not add salt just boil and fry potatoes with noodles serve with sour cream.
I like to add garlic and green pepper and peperika
Cyanne pepper also works
P?rk?lt (meat stew, closest to what Americans call goulash)
Chop up an onion, saute it in your choice of fat. Take it off the heat and put in a good tablespoon of paprika, stir, then add the cubed meat (beef or pork, generally, but you can get fancy and use veal) and stir again. Return to the heat and cook over medium-low, adding minimal amounts of water (or wine) only if needed to prevent scorching, until the meat is tender, stirring occasionally. At some point, season to taste with salt (not pepper - don't combine pepper and paprika). Serve with spaetzle or egg noodles and a simple cucumber salad.
[Variation: to make borsostokány, don't add the paprika, slice the meat into strips instead of cubes, definitely use wine as the cooking liquid, and season generously with black pepper.]
Paprikás krumpli (paprika potatoes)
Chop up an onion, saute in your choice of fat. Take it off the heat and add several heaping tablespoons of paprika and a half teaspoon of caraway seed. Stir, then add the sliced potatoes (we usually slice them in rounds), salt to taste, and return to the heat. Stir and add just barely enough water to cover the potatoes. Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are almost done, then add sliced sausage (Hungarian preferably, Gyulai is a good choice, but a polska kielbasa can work too) and continue cooking until the potatoes are done. Serve with sour cream.
Gulyásleves (goulash-soup, the real thing, accept no substitutes)
Chop up an onion, saute it in your choice of fat. (Are you detecting a pattern yet?) Take it off the heat and add a couple of heaping tablespoons of paprika, a teaspoon of caraway seed (optional), then add the cubed beef (never pork!) and a generous quantity of water. Remember, you're making soup, not stew. Return to the heat. Simmer until the meat is about half done. Add cubed root veggies (carrots, parsnips, parsley root if you can find it) and a couple stalks of celery. Simmer until the veggies are about half cooked, then add cubed potatoes and continue cooking until everything is done. Season to taste with salt (again, don't mix pepper and paprika). Optional: you can add csipetke (literally, "little pinches") for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. To make csipetke, combine one egg with a pinch of salt and enough flour to make a very hard dough, then pinch off little pieces and roll between your fingers to make little ovals. Serve the soup with a good crusty bread.
Rakottkrumpli (layered potatoes)
Cook potatoes in their skins and let cool. Meanwhile, hard-boil some eggs and slice up some sausage. (Some people use hot dogs and/or leftover ham.) Peel the potatoes and slice into rounds. Slice the hard-boiled eggs, too. Have ready some sour cream and softened butter. Butter a rectangular baking dish and put down a layer of potatoes, then a layer of eggs and meat(s), dot with butter as desired, then spread with sour cream (thinned with milk if needed). Repeat with another layer of potatoes and the rest of the proteins. End with a layer of potatoes and the rest of the sour cream. Dot the top with butter and bake in a medium oven until everything is nice and bubbly and the top is lightly browned. Serve with more sour cream if desired.
