Step 1

Start by preparing all your ingredients: dice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the carrots into thin rounds, and chop the red bell pepper into medium-sized pieces.

Add the lean beef stew meat to the pot, and brown it on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

Mix in the tomato paste, paprika, and cumin, ensuring the beef is well coated with the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, then add the bay leaf, sliced carrots, and chopped red bell pepper to the pot.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the goulash simmer for about 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your heart-healthy Rindergulasch with a side of whole-grain bread or steamed vegetables.
