Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add 1 lb beef stew meat in a single layer; cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 sliced onions and 1 tsp salt; cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in 2 tbsp paprika and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Return beef to pot. Pour in 2 cups beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until beef is tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 4
Uncover and simmer for 5 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Season with extra salt if needed. Serve hot.
