🇨🇿 Czech Republic recipe
Guláš
Czech guláš is a hearty beef stew that, while inspired by its Hungarian cousin, has evolved into a distinctly Czech dish. The Czech version uses generous amounts of sweet paprika and onions, and the sauce is typically thicker and richer. It is slow-cooked until the beef is meltingly tender and the onions have dissolved into a velvety, deeply flavored gravy. Served with houskové knedlíky (bread dumplings) that soak up every bit of the rich sauce, it is the quintessential Czech pub meal and a cornerstone of the cuisine.
