Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef stew meat
  • 2 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add 1 lb beef stew meat in a single layer; cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 sliced onions and 1 tsp salt; cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in 2 tbsp paprika and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Return beef to pot. Pour in 2 cups beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until beef is tender, about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Uncover and simmer for 5 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Season with extra salt if needed. Serve hot.
