Crockpot Goulash (LC, GF, SF)

 

Ingredients:

2 lbs beef or pork, cubed

4 tbsp. butter

1 tbsp. mustard

1 tbsp. tomato paste

1 can tomatoes, chopped

1 small onion, finely diced

1 small green pepper, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

400 ml low-carb beer (or could just use all vegetable stock)

1200 ml vegetable stock

2 tsp salt

2 tsp. ground pepper

2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp cumin

2 small bay leaves

 

2 tbsp. sour cream

1/4 tsp guar gum

 

Preparation:

Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the cubed meat and quickly sear. Add the meat and everything but the sour cream and guar gum to the crockpot. Cook on low for 6 hours.

Just before serving, remove the bay leaves. Then remove  about a cup of the hot liquid and in a personal blender, mix the guar gum into it. Process until smooth. Add the guar mix back into the crockpot and stir well. Add the sour cream and incorporate well. Let it warm through for a few minutes.

Serve over low-carb Spaetzle, or zucchini noodles, or miracle rice or other low carb pasta!

You could also just serve it as a hearty Goulash soup!
