Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion – sliced finely
  • 17.6 oz beef eye fillets – sliced finely across the grain in strips
  • 1 14oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 spring onions (scallions) – sliced finely
  • 1 Tablespoon almond flour
  • 2 teaspoon sweet paprika – heaped teaspoons
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • black cracked pepper
  • 1 small head cauliflower
US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  • Put paprika, almond flour and a generous amount of salt and pepper into a bowl and mix together.
  • Add beef strips and using your hands, mix the beef until it is well coated with the mixture, seasoning the meat.
  • Heat oil in 2 pans so you can multitask and cook the cauliflower rice and beef at the same time.
  • Put your cauliflower rice into one of the pans, allowing it to cook, stirring it occasionally while you cook the beef side of the dish.
  • Add half of your beef to the pan, laying it out as flat as you can then let it cook for 1 minute until browned slightly, then use tongs to flip them to the other side for 30 seconds to 1 minute. They don’t have to be fully browned on the flipside. You don’t want them to be over cooked and tough as they will continue to cook while resting and when you add them back to the dish.
  • Pour those strips onto a plate on the side, add a bit more oil to the pan, then repeat the process as above, cooking the beef. Pour on the plate with the other beef.
  • Scrape some of the burnt crumbs off the bottom of the pan and discard. Do the best you can, no need to be fussy.
  • Add 1 teaspoon garlic oil into the pan, then add your onions and allow them to cook, stirring them occasionally, allowing the onions to brown.
  • Remember to keep an eye on your cauliflower rice, if it’s ready turn off the heat.
  • Add your tinned tomatoes to the pan and stir. Add a bit of water to the tin (about 1/4 of tin), swishing it around, then add it into the pan. Stir, then turn down the heat and allow the sauce to simmer for about 3 minutes
  • Put your beef back into the pan, give it a stir, combining the beef well with the tomato sauce, just reheat for 2 minutes on a simmer.
  • Serve your cauliflower rice onto plates, top with your beef mixture, and sprinkle with the freshly sliced spring onions. Add some more salt and pepper if need be and ENJOY!

OPTIONS/ ALTERNATIVES

Dairy Lovers – top your goulash with some freshly grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese and a spoonful of cottage cheese or yogurt.

Don’t have cauliflower? Eat it on it’s own or serve it on a salad bed. Or if you have cabbage, make some cabbage noodles instead.

Don’t have beef? Try it with chicken, it will work in practically the same way.

      Cauliflower is in the recipe, though it should say 1 head cauliflower – grated into a rice-like texture so we’ll get this updated.

    Hi, thanks for the great recipes! I see that you have listed nutritional information per serving, but there are no serving sizes. Did I miss this, or is there a way you can list serving size? Thanks

      I believe the default is 3 servings, Karen. Towards the top of the ingredient list you should be able to adjust the serving size to your liking! Let me know if you’re still having trouble finding the information.

        Thank you for the link to the information on flours. Two of our kids have peanut and tree nut allergies, so I cannot use almond flour as well. We have been making our own oat flour for awhile and that one doesn’t look too bad for carbs.

    Do you make your own garlic oil? If so can you share the recipe? I think I would use it all the time now.
    Thank you

      Yes, it’s very simple Debbie. Crush a whole bunch of garlic (organic preferred) in a food processor, place in a jar and cover with good quality olive oil. Let it stand at room temp for 2 days, then keep in the fridge. As you use it and it reduces, you can add more oil if you choose. It will keep for 6 months or more. Adds a wonderful flavor without the need for a very strong garlic taste.

    I love that you use cauliflower in replace of rice. You shred the cauliflower and makes
    you think you have a plate full of rice and it is shredded cauliflower. Nice I use whole tomatoes chopped up instead of can. Looks so good and love this is a tasty plate.
