Notes

  • You can add the carrots and mushrooms at the start of cooking. I personally prefer their texture when they only cook for the last hour.
  • Don't add add extra liquid. The slow cooking process will draw out moisture from the meat and vegetables, creating plenty of sauce. If you add too much at the start, you'll end up with soup instead of goulash.
  • You can use stew meat, chuck, roast, sirloin steak, or whatever cut of beef you like.
  • The sour cream adds a nice tang and creaminess, but you can definitely leave it out. 
  • You can add other vegetables based on your tastes. Potatoes are a common addition. Just add them in with the carrots and mushrooms about an hour before serving.
