Beef paprika stew (paprikagryde) – an easy, creamy stew with beef and cocktail sausages.
Beef paprika stew is an easy, satisfying one-pot dish that is always a hit at the dinner table.
Here, tender beef is simmered in a creamy paprika and tomato sauce that is mild, full of flavour and child-friendly – a classic the whole family loves.
I often use sirloin (tyndsteg) or a small piece of fillet, which need only a short cooking time and give a wonderfully tender result. You can use other cuts of beef too, but bear in mind that some need a longer simmer before they turn tender. If the stew is going to simmer for a long time, it is a good idea to hold back the peppers until about 10 minutes before serving so they keep some bite, and remember to top up with extra stock as well.
Paprika stew is an obvious choice for autumn and winter, when you crave warming, creamy stews, but it works just as well in spring and summer, served with a fresh salad on the side.
I often serve paprika stew with rice or mashed potato, but try it with pasta or a baked potato too – or a lighter option such as fried pointed cabbage, cauliflower rice or roasted vegetables. The stew freezes well, so do make a double batch while you are at it.
Paprika stew – a one-pot dish for the whole family
Paprika stew is one of those classic one-pot dishes that bring the whole family together around the table. It is creamy, rich and full of flavour – yet still mild enough for the children to love it. A true family favourite that is easy to make, properly filling and can be varied endlessly.
You can use whipping cream (38% fat) or a lighter alternative such as cooking cream. You can also use half cream and half milk and adjust the consistency with cornflour if needed.
