This keto-friendly goulash recipe starts on the stove and finishes in the oven for tender meat and an easy dinner. Serve over egg noodles. I usually serve sour cream-cucumber salad on the side.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in paprika and garlic. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add meat, and stir to coat. Add water to cover. Stir in tomato paste, beef base, bay leaf, and black pepper.

Step 3

Cover the Dutch oven and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 90 minutes. Add more water to cover meat, if needed. Return to the oven and bake 1 hour more. Add mushrooms to the Dutch oven and bake an additional 30 minutes.

Step 4

Remove Dutch oven and whisk in flour until goulash has thickened.
