Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Crisco shortening
• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Sweet paprika
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 3 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 12 ounces Egg noodles, cooked (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of Crisco shortening in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until melted and shimmering.

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Add half of the beef to the pot in a single layer and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the browned beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining beef.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the pot. Sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Stir in the sweet paprika and tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in 3 cups of beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth. Stir a ladleful of the hot cooking liquid into the sour cream mixture to temper it, then gradually whisk it back into the pot. Continue to simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve the beef paprikash warm over cooked egg noodles, if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
