1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 pound beef top round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

This is one of the best goulash recipes I've ever tasted! Definitely will be my go to recipe for goulash from now on! We've always eaten goulash with boiled potatoes, which we'll still do.It's really good with them! Th only thing I did different was use catsup instead of a T. of tomato paste. I don't care to open a can of it, just to use a T.

This is my go-to recipe for Hungarian Goulash-my in-laws come from Hungary and LOVE it. I sometimes add a little more caraway seeds or add it to the buttered noodles-great recipe !!!
