Healthy, because
The hearty and spicy classic is served with plenty of paprika! The vegetables are a top supplier of vitamin C, with the red pods in particular offering a good deal of it. The water-soluble vitamin plays an essential role for the immune system, but is sensitive to heat. The later addition of the pods therefore protects the vitamin C content.
Even smarter
If beef is too boring for you, you can also use veal, lamb, mutton or horse meat, but also the legs of turkey and chicken for goulash. Either way, you should not sear the paprika powder together with the meat, otherwise it will quickly become bitter. If children eat with you or you want to avoid alcohol, you can replace the red wine with meat stock.
