  • About

Gulyas Triestina is a cross between an Italian stew and a Hungarian goulash; this is not surprising, as Trieste is in Friuli, very near to Austria and Yugoslavia. We like to serve this with noodles sprinkled with poppy seeds or soft polenta flavored with poppy seeds.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast or brisket, trimmed well and cut into 2-inch cubes
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons

Method

Rub the meat cubes with 2 tablespoons paprika and ½ cup olive oil. Cover and refrigerate overnight, if possible, or let marinate 2 hours at room temperature.
