This dish a very popular dish however we mixed it up and used Venison. You can use beef however so please keep that in mind. Goulash is one of our favorite dishes. It is very easy to make, it isn't expensive and its a hearty dish that is perfect for any time of year however the winter and cooler months are the best time! Goulash is also one of those dishes that makes for great left overs. We used venison to further our playlist however it does add a great and different flavor. Venison is also a very lean meat. Since deer eat in the wild there are no additives like some beef may have. Be careful however some butchers add pork to the venison when grinding it to add some flavor so you are aware this could be. Chef added a bit of pork to it just for that reason. Check out below and see how we made this wonderful meal!
