Ingredients

• 1 pound beef stew meat
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef stew meat with the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the meat is evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and the rest of the beef. Set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

Add the tomato paste to the skillet and stir well to coat the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavor.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine, ensuring that any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet are scraped up. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Return the seared beef to the skillet, along with any juices that accumulated on the plate. Stir to combine evenly.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream until well incorporated, creating a creamy sauce.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve the Paprika Beef and Mushrooms over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
