Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large, diced onion
• 1 large, diced red bell pepper
• 1 large, diced green bell pepper
• 3 large, sliced carrots
• 4 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 whole bay leaves
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into bite-sized cubes, trimming away any excess fat.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding, browning on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced red and green bell peppers and sliced carrots to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the tomato paste to the vegetables, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 8

Return the beef to the pot, along with the beef broth, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well melded.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves and taste the soup, adjusting seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Garnish each serving with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your hearty Paleo Hungarian Goulash Soup on its own or with a side of your favorite Paleo bread.
