Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb potatoes into 1-inch chunks and the 0.75 lb beef into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the 1 medium onion and mince the 1 small red chili pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and chili to the pot, cooking until soft, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the 2 tbsp tomato paste and 2 tbsp paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Return the beef to the pot. Add the 3 cups beef broth and the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Step 6
Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender and beef is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Stir in the 0.25 cup chopped parsley just before serving. Serve hot with bread if desired.
