Drunken Beef Goulash

By: CanolaInfo

Adding a can of beer instead of water or other liquids to this hearty dish gives it personality and a subtle pub-like taste and aroma. Make Drunken Beef Goulash tonight and treat everyone to great, easy beef recipes.

Notes

Trim the fat off of the beef chuck. Using canola oil instead of the beef fat reduces the saturated fats and gives the beef a rich brown color. If desired, serve this dish over 2 cups prepared frozen mashed potatoes, omitting any salt or fat.
