Description

A hearty and flavorful Hungarian beef stew.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Brown the beef cubes on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Add onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add garlic, paprika, caraway seeds, and marjoram. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in diced tomatoes, beef broth, and tomato paste.

  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
