Goulash

The Viennese Saftgulasch, like all other types of goulash, also has its origins in Hungary. But for many years now, the dish has been considered a true specialty in Vienna with a long tradition, even if it comes from our neighbor across the border. For a real goulash, the onions must never be fried too hot; they should be pale blonde, nothing more. The meat is also only gently sautéed on the onions; it only gets its color during the later braising process. You can learn even more interesting facts about goulash, its preparation, and its history at the Vienna Goulash Museum in the first district. Because here, they cook what is probably the best goulash from Vienna to Budapest. And if you would like to try this hearty dish yourself, treat your loved ones to a real Viennese Saftgulasch.

The following recipe from www.gaumenfreuden.at serves four people and tastes even spicier and more delicious the next day! As grandmother always used to say: A goulash needs its time.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. The onions are peeled and cut into coarse cubes. The meat is also portioned into bite-sized pieces. Now heat the lard in a pan and slowly roast the diced onions until dark brown. Now remove the pan from the heat and finely puree the onions using a hand blender.

  2. Add vinegar, paprika powder, marjoram, caraway, and garlic (either whole or chopped, depending on preference; the whole garlic can simply be removed at the end) to the puree, stir well, and pour in a little water. Let the mixture simmer for half an hour so that the flavor of the paprika can fully unfold.

  3. Only now is the meat added to the sauce; add clear beef broth as needed, but not too much, the meat should still be clearly visible in the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The goulash must now "simmer" slowly over low heat for two to three hours. The Viennese Saftgulasch is characterized by a beautiful layer of fat and a rich dark reddish-brown color, as well as meat that is tender and soft and melts in your mouth. Enjoy your meal!
