Tips
If you want to taste proper Hungarian goulash you must not in any way exceed the cooking times: in fact, the real recipe does not result in what we would call a stew, but is more similar in appearance to a soup.
Trivia
The meaning of the term in Hungarian ‘gulyas-leves’ (this is its proper name) is simply ‘herdsman soup’; ‘goulash’ derives from the German transliteration of the original name of this recipe.
