Low-fat Beef Goulash image

A real comfort food. Serve this with freshly boiled rice/pasta or even mashed potatoes. 3 WW points per serving. (From WW cookbook) This dish freezes really well, you can make extra for those lazy nights. Since this goulash is low in fat, there's no addition of sour cream/cream to thicken it up. If you like it very thick, simmer with some chopped potatoes for longer time or use 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 TB cold water to thicken up.

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Main course, Supper

Time 7h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tbsp olive oil
2kg braising or stewing steak, cut into chunks
2 large onions, finely chopped
4 mixed peppers, cut into 4cm chunks
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp flour
2 tsp caraway seeds

400-500ml beef stock

Steps:

  • Heat the slow cooker to low and heat 2 tbsp oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat. Season and sear the beef in batches until brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
