Paprika steak & potato stew

Paprika Beef Steak Potato Stew

This paprika steak & potato stew is a new favourite in our house! It’s a great change from a traditional beef stew, is super easy to prepare and cook – and is delicious enough for any occasion!

I developed this recipe whilst looking for inspiration for dishes I could take to a Eurovision party lately – and settled on this combination of a few Ukrainian-inspired dishes. The stew is made up of onions, garlic, paprika and tomatoes and filled with tender beef steak and miniature potatoes for a real one-pan-dinner.

Each time I’ve served this we’ve eaten it with a side of crusty bread – and there have been no leftovers in sight!

6. Then, add in the tinned tomatoes, beef stock and sugar (make measuring out the stock easier by filling the tin one and a half times with water)

9. Then, cut your miniature potatoes in half – and add into the stew, stir to mix them through evenly and ensure they’re below the liquid line – then place the lid on and cook for a further 20-30 minutes, or until both the potatoes and meat are fork-tender
