Ingredients

• 500 g Lean beef stew meat
• 1 large Onion
• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 2 tbsp Sweet paprika
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp Tomato puree
• 400 ml Beef stock
• 100 g Fat-free Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp Cornflour
• 4 sprays Olive oil spray
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 0 to taste Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing both the red and green bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil. Brown the beef in batches to seal the meat, ensuring each piece is caramelized on the surface. Transfer the browned beef to your slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add more olive oil spray if needed and sauté the onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4

Stir in the sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and tomato puree with the onions and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Transfer the onion mixture to the slow cooker, along with the sliced bell peppers. Pour the beef stock over the contents and stir to combine.

Step 6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on low for 6 hours, or until the beef becomes tender and the flavors meld together.

Step 7

When the cooking is complete, mix the cornflour with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce as desired.

Step 8

Turn off the slow cooker and allow the dish to cool slightly for a few minutes. Stir in the fat-free Greek yogurt carefully to create a creamy texture without curdling.

Step 9

Serve the beef paprikash hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with boiled rice, Slimming World-friendly noodles, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
