Equipment

cast iron Dutch oven pot or heavy sauce pot

Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Hungarian sweet paprika
1 lb chuck beef, cut into 1 inch cubes (stewing beef)
2 tbsp flour
1/2 red pepper, roughly chopped
1/3 cup red wine
2 cups beef stock
1 ripe vine whole tomatoes, diced
2-3 medium potatoes, diced
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
parsley, garnishing
sour cream, garnishing

Instructions

Heat oil in a medium sauce pot, add onion and sauté until softened about 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper, sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the paprika, and coat the beef chunks with flour, and on medium to high heat, add the beef, and cook until meat is browned on all sides. Add red pepper and red wine and begin to scrape and stir the brown bits from the pan and continue deglazing until the wine reduces and all the brown bits are removed and the pan is smooth.
Then add the beef stock, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Once the liquid starts to come to a slow boil, reduce to a simmer. Cook with lid on for 1 hour then remove lid and cook for another 45-60 minutes to allow the liquid to reduce and thicken. Stir occasionally while it's cooking.
Serve with chopped parsley and sour cream if desired.
