Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds beef chuck cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons Hungarian Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium yellow onion sliced
• 1 red bell pepper chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

• 1 Large skillet 12-inch or larger
• 1 Wooden spoon For stirring and scraping the pan
• 1 Cutting board For prep
• 1 Chef’s knife For chopping and slicing
• 1 set Measuring spoons For spices and oil
• 1 measuring cup For broth

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Pat the beef dry and season it with half the salt and black pepper.
2. 2. Heat the Hungarian Infused Olive Oil Blend in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, then transfer it to a plate.
3. 3. Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring now and then, until the edges begin to turn golden, about 8 minutes.
4. 4. Stir in the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste, paprika, and caraway seeds, then cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. 5. Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. 6. Bring the skillet to a gentle simmer, cover partially, and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
7. 7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with the remaining salt and black pepper.
8. 8. Spoon into bowls and finish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For the best browning, keep the pan hot enough to sear the beef in batches instead of crowding it. If you prefer a thicker skillet sauce, uncover the pan for the final 3 to 5 minutes so the broth reduces a bit more.

Recipe Tips

Cut the potatoes into even pieces so they cook at the same pace as the beef. Let the beef sit undisturbed for a minute or two after it hits the pan so it browns properly. If the skillet starts to look dry, add a small splash of broth to keep the pan juices glossy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this skillet with a simple green salad, buttered peas, or crusty bread for soaking up the sauce. It also works well topped with chopped parsley for a fresh finish at the table.

Storage

Cool leftovers completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a spoonful of broth or water to loosen the sauce.

Variations

Swap the beef for ground beef if you want a quicker skillet version. Add mushrooms for extra depth, or stir in a handful of peas near the end for a little color and sweetness.
