Got it! Here’s the Hungarian-Style Instant Pot Keto Beef Stew – Goulash recipe in English:
🥩 Instant Pot Keto Hungarian Goulash (Beef Stew)
Ingredients (4–6 servings)
- 1 kg (2 lbs) beef chuck or stew meat, cut into 1–2 inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for depth of flavor)
- 1 tsp caraway seeds (optional, traditional)
- 2 cups beef broth

- 1–2 tsp salt, to taste
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf

Instructions – Instant Pot
- Set Instant Pot to Sauté. Heat olive oil and brown the beef cubes in batches. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the onion until soft, then add garlic for 30 seconds.
- Remove briefly from heat and stir in paprika and caraway seeds (prevents burning).
- Return the beef to the pot. Add beef broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add bell pepper, zucchini, and optional carrots. Stir well.
- Close lid and cook High Pressure for 35 minutes.
- Let natural release for 10 minutes, then quick release remaining pressure.
- Check seasoning and thickness. If you want a thicker stew, set to Sauté and simmer a few minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley 🌿
🔥 Tips
- Skip potatoes to keep it keto-friendly.
- Use zucchini, mushrooms, or cauliflower as low-carb alternatives.
- Paprika is the heart of Hungarian goulash—don’t skimp!
- Optional: swirl in a tablespoon of sour cream when serving for extra richness.
If you want, I can also make a super creamy, restaurant-style keto goulash version that’s extra thick and velvety but still low-carb.
Do you want me to do that?
