Peel the onions and dice them into large pieces. Heat the oil in a casserole dish and brown the beef goulash in batches. Then remove the dish and brown the diced onions in the frying pan. Stir in the tomato paste and brown. Return the meat to the pot. Stir in the paprika and flour, brown, and pour in cold water. The meat should not be completely covered.

Then add the pasta and cook until tender. 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the tomatoes to the meat. Drain the green beans and pasta and add to the meat. Stir everything together, season again with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for a short while.
