Instead of gravy: how to prepare tender goulash for buckwheat, mashed potatoes and pasta

Goulash is a delicious dish made from meat - beef, pork, or veal - in a thick gravy with spices. It is quite simple and affordable to prepare. It is also a versatile dish as goulash can be eaten with porridge, pasta, and even mashed potatoes.

Food blogger Yuliia shared a recipe for a versatile pork goulash on her Instagram page.

Ingredients:

• pork (or beef/veal) - 650 g
• onions - 200 g
• carrots - 150 g
• bell peppers - 200 g
• ketchup - 160 g
• soy sauce - 30 g
• water - 500 g
• salt, black and red pepper, paprika, garlic, herbs
• flour - 1.5 tbsp + water

Method of preparation:

1. Cut the meat and fry until light golden brown.

2. Chop the onion, carrot and pepper. Add the chopped vegetables to the meat. Fry together for a few minutes.

3. Next, add ketchup and fry for another 1-2 minutes.

4. Put the ingredients in a saucepan (or leave in a frying pan), add water, spices, garlic and soy sauce. Bring the goulash to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour until the meat is tender.

5. If you want the goulash to be thicker, add flour. Dissolve it in water and pour it into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat.
