- Pour broth and water over the inrgedients in the pot and increase heat.
- Mix contents, keep over high heat and cover the pot. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium thereafter.
- Cook for about 50 minutes covered, stirring occasionally over a medium to low heat setting. It should bubble a bit.
- Uncover and continue to simmer your Hungarian goulash over a slow flame. The goulash should reduce a bit and gain flavor. This can take another 50-60 mins or until you are satisfied with the taste.
- Serve up as is hot in a bowl or with fresh parsley and/or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes
- Goulash turns out tastier when it is left to cook slowly over a longer period of time. This dish is really great when warmed up again the next day. So, I totally recommend that you refrigerate it overnight and warm it up again the next day. It will turn out more flavorful.
