Hungarian Goulash Crockpot

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 pounds beef, cut into largish cubes
• raw salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 Tbsp low carb flour to thicken stew
• 1 Tbsp Hungarian paprika
• 1/4 tsp caraway seeds
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 eggplant cut into small pieces or grated (optional. carrot works too)
• 1 large onion, chopped finely
• 3 cloves chopped garlic
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 1/2 red bell peppers cut into chunks
• 1 medium can diced tomatoes
• 1/2 - 1 cup of beef stock if you like more of a soup style (optional)

*A few potatoes can be added to this recipe 3/4 of the way through cooking if desired

Directions:
1. Season the beef with salt, pepper and sprinkle with flour.
2. Heat a large skillet or stock pot to medium high. Brown the meat in half the coconut oil then remove from pan.
3. In same pan add rest of oil and add the onion and garlic, stirring while sauteing for about 3 minutes. Add paprika and caraway seeds for just a minute and stir through, taking care not to burn. This will make the dish bitter.
4. De-glaze the pan with the stock or tomatoes and now add all the remaining ingredients.
Cook for about 10 minutes, then transfer to your slow cooker. Usually takes about 6 hours on low. You can add some vegetables like kale or spinach if you wish. If desired this dish can be cooked on the stove top.
