Oven, Dutch oven · 56

Mainly a Hungarian-tradition medium — a covered braise gives the chuck the same long, even heat it needs to convert its collagen, with less risk of scorching the paprika than an unwatched stovetop simmer.

Stovetop · 39

The classic route for both traditions the name covers: Hungarian gulyás simmers cubed chuck with a heavy dose of paprika (added off the direct heat so it doesn't scorch) and a near meat-weight quantity of onion for body; American goulash browns ground beef, then simmers tomato and dry elbow macaroni directly in the sauce so the pasta sheds its own thickening starch as it cooks.
