Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 large yellow onions, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), chopped
- 2 tbsp Hungarian paprika
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the beef chuck roast into bite-sized cubes. Dice the onions and mince the garlic.
- 2. Sauté Onions: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute.
- 3. Brown the Beef: Add the beef cubes to the pot and sear on all sides until golden brown, approximately 8 minutes. Work in batches if necessary.
- 4. Combine Spices: Sprinkle in paprika and oregano, stirring to coat meat and onions fully. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- 5. Add Liquids: Pour in beef broth and stir in tomato paste until well mixed. Bring to a gentle simmer before reducing heat.
- 6. Simmer Away: Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 2 hours or until the beef is fork-tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
