Hungarian Goulash is a popular meat and paprika stew, originating in Medieval Hungary. I love how simple, yet full of flavour this healthy Hungarian Goulash Thermomix recipe is and I also love the versatility of this recipe.
There are so many variations of Hungarian Goulash, that I figured creating a base recipe, that you could easily adapt would be ideal.
Feel free to chuck in potato, capsicum and wine if you are used to your Goulash having these ingredients!
I haven’t had Hungarian Goulash for years as it was something that I cooked from a supermarket packet mix.
This preservative free, healthy Thermomix recipe will be popular with the family and can be made in the slow cooker or pressure cooker by reducing the water.
Enjoy, Love Nik xx

Slow Cooker Tips
Transfer the recipe to the slow cooker from the Thermomix in Step 3, after adding the ingredients but before cooking for 20 mins. & reduce water to 200 g or less for less sauce & increase meat to 1kg-1.4kg. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs or until beef is tender.
You may wish to thicken the stew with a cornflour + water paste in the last 30 mins or cook with the lid off until liquid has reduced.
If you have added potatoes and other vegetables to make it an all-in-one, you will need to season to taste.
Other Cuts of Meat
We’ve seen so many different variations of this recipe in the Skinnymixers Facebook Group, from diced chicken thighs & diced lamb in the Thermomix or Osso Bucco & Lamb Shanks in the Slow Cooker.
Feel free to use any of the slow cooking meats in the slow cooker and cook accordingly with the sauce base. Just remember to reduce the water content when slow cooking.
Super Skinny Pressure Cooker Version
To save time and avoid chopping onion/garlic. Replace onion with 2 Tbsp onion powder and use 1 Tbsp garlic powder instead of the fresh garlic.
You can increase the meat to 1kg also in the pressure cooker. Omit oil, add all other ingredients into the pressure cooker and cook on high for 20 mins.
