I was the recipient of an incredible cookbook this year and one of the first meals I made from its pages was so incredibly cozy and delicious, I simply had to share it.

As we say over here at TSP Headquarters, it’s “blog-worthy”.

However, I take no credit for this recipe for savory Austrian beef stew with paprika.

I owe all of the credit to the folks over at Milk Street.

Since Christmas, I have touched every single page, reviewed all the recipes, and have my sights set on a new year full of different dishes I plan to share with the ones I love.

I miss my friends and family and the ease of life that existed in the “before times”…(pre-COVID)

Until we can proceed like we used to, this year will be filled with more intimate gatherings.

We enjoyed this beef stew in celebration of my brother-in-law’s 40th birthday.

He mentioned he had a hankering for a hearty stew and, in one of my rare mindful moments, I heeded his wishes and turned them into a birthday celebration fit for a king (in a pandemic).

Here is Milk Street’s recipe for Austrian Beef Stew, a perfect winter meal.

Austrian Beef Stew With Paprika

A simple beef stew with bold flavors.
Prep Time20 mins
Cook Time3 hrs 30 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Austrian
Keyword: Beef Stew, Paprika
Servings: 4

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients

  • 5 lbs boneless beef chuck, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 6 tbsp Hungarian sweet paprika
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 c beef broth
  • 1/4 c tomato paste
  • 4 tbsp (1/2 stick) salted butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp caraway seeds, slightly crushed
  • 1/3 c all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Hungarian hot paprika
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 2 tsp dried marjoram (optional)
  • 1/4 c finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • Sour cream, to serve

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 325° and season the beef with 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  • In another small bowl, whisk together the broth and tomato paste and set aside until later.
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter, and add the chopped onion and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook and stir occasionally until the onion is lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the caraway and flour, cook, and be sure to stir frequently until the flour begins to brown. About 2-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the hot paprika and the remaining 5 tablespoons sweet paprika and cook until fragrant. Maybe 30 seconds.
  • Whisk in the broth and bring it to a simmer. Keep stirring.
  • Add the beef, bay leaf, and marjoram then bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Cover, place in the oven, and cook for 2 hours.
  • Take the pot out of the oven and stir. Put back in the oven uncovered until the meat is tender, perhaps another 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from the oven and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the dill and vinegar, ladle into bowls, serve with egg noodles and sour cream, (or not), and enjoy!
Cheers to making more cozy moments in 2021.

Hygge is humble and slow. It is choosing rustic over new, simple over posh, and ambience over excitement. In many ways, hygge might be the Danish cousin to slow and simple living.
