How to Make Low Fat Beef Goulash
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons paprika, 2 bay leaves, 1 cup dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, and 4 cups beef broth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thicker goulash, continue to simmer uncovered for another 15-20 minutes, or stir in a slurry of 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water until thickened.
- Remove bay leaves before serving. Garnish with 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley and serve hot over your favorite starch.
