"A real comfort food. Serve this with freshly boiled rice/pasta or even mashed potatoes. 3 WW points per serving. (From WW cookbook) This dish freezes really well, you can make extra for those lazy nights. Since this goulash is low in fat, there's no addition of sour cream/cream to thicken it up. If you like it very thick, simmer with some chopped potatoes for longer time or use 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 TB cold water to thicken up."

Very nice indeed! I made this using beef I was already marinating in red wine, garlic and a bit of lemon juice. It marinated for about 9 hours before I used the meat in this recipe. The beef came out very tender and the sauce flavourful. My only little gripe is that the sauce was not very thick -- more runny like a soup -- and I had to a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up. I also think the servings would be a bit on the small side for 4 people. In our family, this made 2 dinner servings plus 1 lunch for me to take to work. I bet this would also be a delicious hearty stew if you added carrots and potatoes and possibly baked it in the oven. We served it over rice.

Hi everyone! I'm addicted to recipezaar - there are so many things that I love about this site; the wonderful people, recipes, lots of great pictures and there's always someone who'll answer my cooking/baking/general question. I grew up in Malaysia, but now live in sunny Singapore. Both are beautiful tropical (read: HOT!) countries in Southeast Asia. There are so many good food here, especially ethnic stuff like spicy Malaysian curries (which will clear the worst blocked nose), flaky & crispy Indian roti paratha/canai, homey Chinese stir-fries, rich & decadent Asian desserts like kuih lapis (Malay many-layers cake), pineapple tarts, crumbly peanut cookies etc. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/zaarfreak/REI/12may05REI2_S.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">
