Start by preparing all your ingredients: dice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the carrots into thin rounds, and chop the red bell pepper into medium-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add the lean beef stew meat to the pot, and brown it on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste, paprika, and cumin, ensuring the beef is well coated with the spices.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, then add the bay leaf, sliced carrots, and chopped red bell pepper to the pot.
Season with salt and black pepper, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the goulash simmer for about 1.5 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy your heart-healthy Rindergulasch with a side of whole-grain bread or steamed vegetables.
