Cheap Eats: Goulash

Serves 4 | £2.41 per portion

Ingredients

  • 600g diced beef

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 bell peppers, sliced

  • 2tbsp paprika

  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes

  • 1 vegetable stock cube

  • 2 carrots, chopped

  • 80g Watercress, chopped

 

Method

  1. In a large pan, fry off the onion, peppers and carrots, allowing them to soften.

  2. Then add the beef and paprika– while this browns, prepare your stock with 500ml boiling water.

  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock to the pan, bring to the boil and then leave to simmer. We recommend cooking for at least an hour (you can always transfer to the oven if you need the hob space)

  4. Before serving, stir through the watercress and allow to wilt. Serve with mash potato for a filling, cheap eat!
