Beef Goulash Extraordinaire

---

This easy and incredible goulash is hearty and comforting. I spent many a night perfecting this recipe until it was just right. Needless to say, i had many willing taste testers. I do not recommend adding potatoes to this recipe to thicken it, as even the smoothest mashed potatoes make it gritty. If you really feel you would like the gravy thicker, add a loose paste of flour and water and cook until thickened. Serve with buttered egg noodles and steamed, buttered carrots.
