Cooking Tips
If you’re in a rush, then you can skip browning the meat. This skip will probably mean your beef might not be as flavorsome but will still be enjoyable. It also saves making an extra dish to wash up.
Assuming the goulash is too runny for your liking, then you can thicken it up with some corn-starch. To do this simply mix 1 Tbsp. corn-starch with 1 tbsp. water in a separate bowl until it forms a paste. Now pour this paste into the goulash while mixing, hopefully avoiding any lumps. It should thicken up after 2-5 minutes of cooking.
