This classic Eastern European goulash is a comforting, rustic dish that delivers deep, savory flavors in every bite.

Note

For a richer flavor, you can brown the beef cubes in a little oil before adding the tomatoes and water.

If using fresh onions instead of dried, dice 1 medium onion and saut&# 195;© it with the beef.

This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors have time to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Serve with crusty bread, egg noodles, or dumplings to soak up the delicious broth.
