Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons salted butter (oil, or lard (preferred))
- 2 medium yellow onions (diced)
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1½ pounds stewing beef (or chuck, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth (or water, divided)
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes (drained)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced, optional)
- 3 medium carrots (diced, optional)
- chopped fresh parsley (and sour cream for serving, optional)
Steps
-
In a Dutch oven or large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in caraway seeds and paprika.
-
In a bowl or zip-top bag, dredge the beef with flour and shake off any excess. Add the beef to the onion mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes.
-
Slowly add ¼ cup of beef broth while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining broth and diced tomatoes. Add potatoes and carrots if using. Season with salt and black pepper.
-
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for about 1½ -2 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
-
Garnish with parsley if desired and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
