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
