Pronounced as gu-yash, Hungarian Gulyas has nothing at all to do with pasta or ground beef. It's a soup (leves) with beef, paprika, and veggies.

Here's my daughter's recipe that she made for us tonight. It is FANTASTIC! Best Gulyas I've ever had, even compared to the best we had in Hungary.

Gulyas leves

Per 2 quarts of beef broth:
•2-3 pounds beef
•2 medium sweet onions
•butter/lard/olive oil (for frying onions)
•˝ cup sweet paprika
•⅛ cup (2 tbsp) hot paprika
•~28 oz can of diced/crushed/etc tomatoes
•1 tbsp diced garlic
•1 tsp caraway, + more to taste
•1 tsp Better Than Bouillon, beef stock version, low sodium if preferred (even if starting from beef broth and not water)
•Other veg
•Other herbs

Good veg:
•Potatoes
•Red, orange, and/or yellow peppers (no green peppers!)
•Carrots
•Peas
•Celery (just a couple stalks)

Good herbs:
•Fennel (just a little)
•Rosemary
•Thyme
•Bay leaf
•Parsley
•Other pot herbs

Directions -
•Put butter/lard/olive oil into pot, cook onions
•Take off heat, add paprika and stir to mix paprika into the fat (Paprika is not water soluble. You must use some form of fat to 'bloom' the paprika.)
•Add beef, put back on heat, brown beef
•Add veg and broth, bring to low boil
•Add herbs
•Let cook for 2+ hours, or until beef is tender

Serve with fresh homemade bread or good bakery bread.

You're welcome. :)

Yum. Does it freeze well? That's an industrial strength recipe.

Definitely! I just put a bunch in our freezer tonight after dinner.

Daughter made an enormous batch for us here, about 3 gallons. We have LOTS in the freezer, and we will love having it for easy meals.

I'm restocking our freezers with ready meals. We used up a bunch after my last surgery. Hubby is very pleased to see these and other meals go into our freezer. It's been a long time since he had to do any cooking, and he's sorely out of practice. :lol2:

I really love to have stuff like this handy for when I want something homemade but don’t want to cook. Soup and a hard roll or greens in olive oil and lemon is a great dinner.

The broth benefits from making this with stew meat that is still on the bone. Better flavor for the broth and texture from the natural gelatin of the bones. I had an outrageous amount of beef stew meat in my freezer, and I let her use all of it. Holy cow, it was a lot. The Hungarian grandmas would approve. Hungarians are serious carnivores, and they make no apologies. :lol2:
