I’ve made the Budapest Beef Goulash II twice from The NY Times Cookbook, with rave reviews both times. I did use bacon fat rather than the suggested substitution of oil. I also did NOT strain out the solids as the recipe calls for. Why waste all that goodness? It’s a great recipe, and it makes the house smell terrific!
