HUNGARIAN BEEF GOULASH AKA "PORKOLT"

Hungarian Beef Goulash Aka

I took the original Hungarian version that my parents taught me, and added my own flare. I hope you like it as much as I do. For best results, use real Hungarian Paprika found in grocery or international food stores. This dish is best served with noodles, and preferably a traditional Hungarian cabbage salad.
