German goulash is a hearty beef stew, seasoned with onion, paprika and caraway seeds. It is a simple, rich and comforting one pot meal that’s great over egg noodles, mashed potatoes or spaetzle.
What cut of meat is goulash? The cut you need is flank or chuck. Flank is from the lower half of the hind quarter and is actually quite lean. Thin flank – a cut from the belly – is more gristly, but great for slow, moist cooking such as in a goulash.
