I absolutely love the heart warming, stick to your ribs flavor of comfort foods! The BEST part about slow cooked meals is that they are so easy and take just a few minutes to throw together. Not to mention how they make your house smell all yummy and cozy, especially on a cold winter day.
This super simple recipe for Fork Tender Beef Goulash features the hearty flavors of peppercorn and sage and is not just a low carb meal, it is Lean and Green friendly. As part of my Throw Together Thursdays recipe series, it’s one for the record books!
Happy Cooking!

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds lean stew beef, visible fat removed and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 2 Cups low sodium beef broth
-
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes, no sugar added
-
1 Tablespoon Stacey Hawkins Rosemary Versatility Seasoning (or fresh rosemary, sage, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper)
-
1 teaspoon Stacey Hawkins Tricolore Peppercorns left whole
-
1 Tablespoon Stacey Hawkins Garlic Gusto Seasoning
Directions
Place the beef in the slow cooker. In this case, I had it in the freezer and threw it frozen right into the slow cooker.
Pour the broth and tomatoes over the meat.
Sprinkle with the seasonings and stir to incorporate. Do NOT crush the peppercorns or you will wind up with a very spicy and peppery goulash.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until beef is fully cooked and fork tender.*
Serve hot with a delicious green veggie on the side or over cauliflower rice for a complete Lean and Green Meal!

Stacey Says:
For a richer, thicker stew, remove the meat, pour the broth into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and let reduce for 5-7 minutes until mixture is thicker. Pour over beef and serve.
