Swaps, storing and making ahead
Good to know
Swaps
- No Hungarian paprika? Use another sweet or smoked paprika, though the flavor will be milder.
- No caraway seeds? Use a pinch of ground fennel or cumin for a similar earthy note.
- No beef chuck? Beef stew meat or brisket works, cut into bite-sized cubes.
Storing it
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove until steaming hot.
Making it ahead
The goulash can be fully cooked up to 3 days ahead and kept in the fridge; flavor deepens as it sits, so reheat before serving.
