Hungarian classic beef goulash

Delicious, richly flavored beef goulash. I suggest you try the national dish of Hungary. Everyone has heard it since childhood. Only the national Hungarian goulash is not the meat with gravy that we are used to. Hungarian goulash is a thick soup, an independent dish with vegetables and potatoes, which combines both the first and the second. It is easy to prepare and very tasty.
