  1. Thats not hungarian gulash, its the american gulash, hungarian gulyás is a soup. This LOOKS more like a hungarian pörkölt, only without these spices, and GOD without olive oil, we use pork fat.

  2. I'm curious, if you're all such goulash experts…why are you here looking at another man's goulash recipe? If you're unsatisfied with Chef John's version then make your own and stfu. =)

  3. This isnt Hungarian goulash goulash is a soup . Its like if i was making a philly cheese steak by cooking a big piexce of steak and servit over mashed potatoes and sprinkle cheese on the steak , sounds like an authentic philly cheese steak

  4. Is this video 5 years old? Yes.
    Did I make this recipe for the first time last night? Yes!
    Was it AMAZING??? YES!!!!!
    I only had smoked paprika on hand but honestly it was the best stew I ever had.

  5. Great video, Chef, and the goulash looks divine. I will give it a try, but in my slow cooker. A small glass of red wine should enhance the flavour.

  6. Why do you use two cooking vessels? (Pot and pan?) – you can brown the meat and cook the onions etc in the cast iron pot. You only need a small pan to toast the spices, but you can create and keep all of the frond and cooking goodness in the cast iron pot. Other than that minor critique, and awesome recipe.

  7. It is a beef stew but not a Goulash (Gulyás) by any means, and even though it is similar recipe to a Hungarian Beef stew, I still wouldn't call it Hungarian because the ingredients are different! BTW Gulyás is a soup!….Just saying 😉

  8. to the hungarians saying that it looks delicious but cant be classified as goulash … well its not the widespread common hungarian recepie, but it is goulash, all of eastern europe is filled with many types of goulash, many of them are not even thick or similar to the traditional hungarian goulash, thats because most of those recepies have been around before even the magyar incursions and the earlier varieties including the early hungarian varieties did not even include paprika, let alone tomatos(paste) which are used today so yeah i think debating the traditional precision is sort of pointless due to it being different not only from country to country, but from city to city and village to village, when it comes down to it, its meat stew, goulash is the popular hungarian name for it(also used in the surrounding countries despite having their own names for meat stew)
