This is a great comfort food recipe for the cold winters. I replaced the potatoes with sweet potatoes to make it a bit healthier. This recipe is an easy one for a great week night meal for the family while still being under $30 (and yummy leftovers). It has a lot of protein, fiber while still being a lower calorie option. Using Hungarian paprika (which you can find on Amazon) adds to the Hungarian authenticity and gives it the right smoky and sweet flavor. However, any paprika will be fine.

Ingredients

1 pound lean beef, cut into small cubes
2 tbls Avocado oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 red bell pepper diced
1 green bell pepper diced
1 lb sweet potato cubed
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
2 cups low-sodium beef or vegetable broth
2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add oil.
Add the beef cubes and cook until browned on all sides.
Add the onion and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add the bell peppers and sweet potatoes to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, paprika, oregano, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, either on its own or with a side of steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
