How to Make Hungarian Veal Goulash

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of cubed veal, 1 large chopped onion, and 4 minced cloves of garlic to the skillet.
  3. Cook and stir until the meat is well browned and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference).
  5. Add 1 3/4 cups of water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, or until the veal is very tender.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth.
  7. Gradually whisk the flour slurry into the simmering goulash.
  8. Increase heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute to thicken the sauce.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  10. Serve hot over egg noodles or your preferred pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
