Brown the beef in batches. This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from becoming tough.
Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful the goulash will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and bell peppers.
Use a good quality beef broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the goulash. If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth.
Season the goulash to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of paprika for a smoky flavor.
Let the goulash simmer for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the goulash, the better it will be.
Serve the goulash with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will add a creamy richness to the dish.
