Critical Success Points

  • Sauté the onion until soft and lightly golden to develop flavor
  • Brown the beef properly to lock in juices
  • Stir regularly during the 45‑minute reduction to avoid burning
  • Add garlic and paprika before the final hour to prevent bitterness
  • Adjust thickness with a flour or cornstarch slurry if needed

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw beef with clean hands and separate cutting board to avoid cross‑contamination
  • Ensure the goulash reaches at least 71°C (160°F) for safe consumption
  • Hot oil can splatter – keep face away while sautéing
