Hungarian Goulash Recipe 🇭🇺

Hungarian goulash is one of those comforting dishes that turns simple ingredients into something deeply satisfying. Tender chunks of beef are slowly simmered with onions, paprika, tomatoes, and vegetables until the meat becomes wonderfully tender and the broth develops a rich, savory flavor.
