Classic German Goulash: Traditional Stew Recipe
Fork-tender beef is slow-simmered with onions in a rich paprika-infused gravy and served over your choice of Spätzle, German potato or bread dumplings, egg noodles, or boiled potatoes. Known as Rindergulasch, it’s German comfort food at its best. This traditional German Goulash recipe is like the way my Mutti and Oma made it and has been a personal favorite ever since I can remember!
I could usually tell when my Mutti was making Rindergulasch by the wonderful aroma that came wafting from our kitchen. Likewise, when we went to my Oma and Opa’s house for Sunday dinner the smell was unmistakable as soon as we entered their home. This is a popular dish throughout Germany and can be found in virtually every German restaurant. Where I’m from in Baden-Württemberg, German Goulash is most commonly served with Spätzle, and where my Mutti is from in Bavaria, Kartoffelklöße are traditional. I love it both ways!
