Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef stew meat
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add the 1 lb beef stew meat in a single layer and sear until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Reduce heat to medium. Add the 1 large sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 tsp paprika, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the 3 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it darkens slightly.

  4. 4

    Return the beef to the pot. Add the 4 cups beef broth and 2 medium diced carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until beef is tender, about 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
