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!
How to make a paprika & steak potato stew
Step-by-step instructions and images, scroll to the bottom for a printable recipe card.
1. Begin by largely dicing one onion, crushing 4 garlic cloves and trimming your beef steak of any large pieces of fat
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan
3. Then, add in the onion and cook for about 2 minutes – or until they are beginning to turn brown like in this image:
4. Then, add in the diced steak pieces, stir to coat with the oil and cook for 2-3 further minutes, or until the meat has browned on both sides
5. Add in the paprika, tomato puree and crushed garlic, stir to coat and cook for a further minute
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)
7. Stir and bring to a low simmer
8. Then place the lid on, and cook for around 2 hours – stirring occasionally and checking it doesn’t need more water adding
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
10. Enjoy and serve alongside some nice bread!

A deliciously simple steak & potato, tomato-based stew flavoured with garlic and paprika.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 Onion
- 500g diced braising steak
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Tbsp Paprika
- 1 Tbsp Tomato Puree
- 400g tinned tomatoes
- 600ml beef stock
- 1 Tsp Sugar
- 500g miniature/baby potatoes
- To Season: Salt & Pepper
- Optional (see #9) 1 tbsp beef gravy granules
Instructions
- Begin by largely dicing the onion, peel and crush the garlic, and trim the beef steak of any large pieces of fat
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat
- Add the diced onion, stir and cook for about 2 minutes, or until they begin to brown slightly
- Then, add in the steak pieces - stir to coat with the oil and cook for 2-3 further minutes, or until the meat has browned on both sides
- Next, Add in the garlic and paprika - stir and cook for around 1 minute
- Finally, add in the tomato puree, tinned tomatoes, beef stock and sugar (do not add the potatoes yet)
- Bring the whole mixture to a simmer, then place the lid on the pan and allow to cook on low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the bottom doesn't catch, and top up any water if needed
- Then, cut the potatoes in half and add them into the dish - stir to coat thoroughly in the stew, return the lid and cook for a final 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes and meat are both fork-tender
- The stew should be thick enough at this stage - but if you would like it a little thicker, add in a small amount of beef gravy granules
