Delicious Beef Paprika

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, with liquid
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add both types of paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the onions and garlic. Stir to coat the onions in the spices.
  5. Return the browned beef to the pot, and add the diced tomatoes along with their liquid and the beef broth. Stir well to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender. Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Once the beef is fork-tender, remove the pot from heat.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. This dish pairs excellently with rice, noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
