Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Broth

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed
  • 4 cups beef broth

Vegetables

  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Spices

  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cube the beef stew meat into bite-sized pieces if not pre-cut. Chop the onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic cloves to ensure they release their flavors fully during cooking.
  2. Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Place the cubed beef, beef broth, diced tomatoes, chopped bell peppers, chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper into your crockpot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and all the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Final Touch and Serve: After cooking, taste the goulash and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly meal or enjoy it on its own as a flavorful stew.

Notes

  • For a thicker stew, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • Using fresh paprika enhances the depth of flavor – try smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
  • This dish stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freezes perfectly for up to 3 months.
  • Serving with cauliflower rice keeps the meal keto-friendly and low in carbohydrates.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially if using a salted broth.
