Beef Goulash

Preparation

1
Trim any excess fat from the beef and cut it into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Pat the beef thoroughly dry with paper towels.
2
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove browned beef and set aside.
3
Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the sweet paprika, tomato paste, chopped carrots, and bell pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, allowing the spices to toast slightly.
5
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the low sodium beef broth and canned crushed tomatoes. Add bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to taste.
6
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it gently simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7
Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve hot, optionally with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
