How to Make Beef Paprikas
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper, chopped, and sauté until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons sweet paprika. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in 4 cups beef broth and 2 tablespoons tomato paste. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens and the paprika flavor mellows, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup sour cream.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a separate large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat.
- Season 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, with salt and pepper. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the browned beef to a plate.
- Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Once all the beef is browned, add it to the paprika sauce along with any drippings from the plate.
- Add ½ cup dry white wine to the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Boil until the sauce becomes syrupy, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the syrupy wine reduction over the beef and sauce.
- Before serving, sprinkle with ½ cup chopped fresh tomatoes (optional).
