Is it possible now to prepare a good thick gravy, which was served in Soviet canteens?

I confess that I have cooked goulash only once in my life. And it turned out so bad. Recently I wanted to please my beloved, and I went to my mother for a recipe. I remember how she was excited to talk about a meat dish that my grandmother used to cook. The recipe comes from the USSR, and it wanders from generation to generation. I'm going to tell you today. How to make beef goulash.



The recipe I will share today is very simple. But there's one thing about it. To make the dish as juicy and tasty as possible, it should be cooked on an open fire. If in the near future you are going to go to the country, be sure to bring all the necessary products for goulash. No regrets! And the family will thank you.

2. Since the dish is cooked on an open fire, it is best to use a deep cast-iron pan for this. Heat vegetable oil on it and start frying meat. At this time, cut the bow finely. Peel the carrots and rub them on a large grater. Add onions and carrots to roasted beef. Stir it all together.
   
   
   
   
3. Then mix the tomato paste in the meat. If you like a richer tomato taste, feel free to add more pasta. Then pour water into the future goulash. It is best to use boiling water.
4. Add salt and sugar to the meat. This is necessary to stabilize the taste of ready goulash. Next, add bay leaf and ground black pepper to the dish. Stir everything and cover the pan with a lid. Tomi beef for 1 hour.
