Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb potatoes
  • ¾ lb beef stew meat
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 small red chili pepper
  • ¼ cup parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb potatoes into 1-inch chunks and the 0.75 lb beef into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the 1 medium onion and mince the 1 small red chili pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and chili to the pot, cooking until soft, about 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the 2 tbsp tomato paste and 2 tbsp paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Return the beef to the pot. Add the 3 cups beef broth and the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender and beef is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Stir in the 0.25 cup chopped parsley just before serving. Serve hot with bread if desired.
