Beef Goulash
Fall is upon us, and the weather is cooling off. So we’ve got a dish for you that will warm you up, Cowboy Beef Goulash. It’s easy and will stretch your dollar too!
We appreciate you sharing our recipes with your friends and family!
Beef goulash originated in Hungary. Back in the 9th century, shepherds would take it and stew it, making it more like beef stew. But today, when people make it Hungarian style, they use a chuck steak or something like that and cube it. They cook it down with a broth and then poor it over noodles.
The American style istypically made with ground beef and cooked with the noodles in it and that’s what we are sharing today.
Step 1:
In a preheated and seasoned 12″ Dutch oven or large cast iron skillet, we’re going to crumble up 2 pounds of beef over medium-high heat.As you see it browning, add a large yellow onion and let that brown up well.
Original Seasoning
Our Original blend was first created as a steak rub, but then we got to using it on everything but the coffee and the biscuits! This is a perfect all-purpose seasoning and/or meat rub. It will replace your salt and pepper routine. Our seasoning brings out the natural flavors of food without overpowering them. A salt and pepper base with a just hint of citrus, this will be a go-to seasoning.
Step 2:
Now we’re going to season it with 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, and 1 ½ tablespoons Red River Ranch Original Seasoning.
If there’s any excess grease in your skillet or Dutch oven, be sure to drain that out.
Step 3:
Next stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 can stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, Rotes, 1/2 cup water, 1 cup chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
You can also use some Worcestershire, which is how Mama would make it. But the soy gives it a good flavor and you don’t need to salt the mixture either. We’re also going to throw in 2 bay leaves and 1/2 cup of Hatch green chiles. (And it helps if you have a pup taste tester in the kitchen supervising!)
Hatch Green Chile
Enjoy the unmistakable flavor of fresh Hatch green chiles. Our green chile tastes extraordinary with a variety of foods and dishes. It is excellent, even by itself, straight from the jar. Whether you are in the mood for traditional Southwestern fair or fusion, our chopped pure Hatch green chile as you covered!

Step 4:
At this point, if you are using a skillet it’s best to transfer the contents to a large pot to give you more room when we add the noodles. If you’re already using a Dutch oven or pot- you’re good to go!
We’re going to let the mixture come to a light boil, then turn it down to a simmer, cover it and let it cook for about 20 minutes. Be sure to stir it a couple times while cooking.
Step 5:
Now it’s time to stir in 2 cups of large macaroni noodles. Go ahead and cover the dish again and let it cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or just until the noodles are tender, stirring a couple times. You don’t want the noodles to cook too long and become mushy so just keep an eye on them.
What did I tell ya folks- this is an easy stick-to-your-ribs dish that will please even picky eaters.
I’ve been asked what would I pair it with. Well, I would make some of them oven-roasted potatoes, we’ve made them a while ago. But something that goes really well with it is hot water cornbread or a regular slice of cornbread.
