Healthy, because
Beef scores with high-quality protein, which is used in various ways as a body-building material; for example, for muscle building or as collagen. The B-vitamin niacin from the meat is also important for energy metabolism.
Even smarter
Depending on preference, less meat and more red peppers can also be added to the goulash; this increases the proportion of vegetables and helps to reduce the meat consumption per week without sacrificing enjoyment.
