Ingredients
- 500g beef (sirloin or chuck), cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional for depth)
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme or oregano
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 200ml beef broth or water
- 100ml heavy cream or sour cream (for a creamy finish)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare The Beef:
- Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Sear The Beef:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics:
- In the same pan, add chopped onions and cook until translucent. Add garlic and red bell pepper; cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Add Paprika And Spices:
- Stir in sweet paprika, smoked paprika, thyme, and chili flakes. Toast for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add Tomato Paste And Broth:
- Mix in tomato paste and stir well. Pour in the beef broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Simmer:
- Return the seared beef to the pan. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 25–30 minutes until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens.
Add Cream (Optional):
- Stir in the heavy cream or sour cream for a rich, gourmet-style sauce. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
Garnish And Serve:
- Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
