goulash

This is a typical dish from Hungary, made with beef and vegetables and spices. The addition of tomato is not part of the traditional recipe, but I quite like it added to it and I also add mushrooms in the actual stew and then you can serve potatoes and other vegetables on the side. The beer is used to break down the meat and make it very tender as stewing beef cuts are quite tough. The beer also adds a very nice flavour to the goulash. This recipe is gluten free, dairy free and low in carb
