Perfect Austrian Goulash recipe

Austrian Goulash

Goulash is a typical dish here in Austria. Austrian cuisine has many influences from Italy, Germany, Hungary, Bohemian, and the Balkans. But the most significant influence is, of course, the Hungarian because for so many years Austria used to be the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Growing up in Venezuela, with a super Austrian aunt, Sundays where goulash Sunday at her place, the funny thing is that we used to cook together all the time, and we prepare together the famous Apple strudel, the great Christmas cookies and of course my beloved apple pie. But we never cooked Goulash or Sacher Cake, and I guess now is too late for me to ask her these 2 delicious recipes.

For a couple of days, I was at my friend house Angelika, and she was preparing Goulash, and without losing any time I just jump into the kitchen to steal all the secrets of this amazing dish, so today we are going to show you, how to prepare the perfect Goulash!
