BEST HUNGARIAN BEEF GOULASH RECIPE (2020): | CHEF JON ASHTON |

beef

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and pork is often less expensive.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon

Vegetable broth reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Smoked paprika adds depth without extra calories.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: parsnips

Sweet potatoes offer more nutrients, while parsnips are often cheaper.

Season the chuck beef with salt and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes to draw out the juices.

Do not brown the meat; instead, place it directly into the pot.

Add sweet paprika to the pot with the beef.

Use a traditional Hungarian paprika paste if available, but regular paprika can be used.

Combine all ingredients in a pot and cook without browning the meat to preserve the flavor of the paprika.
