4. Build the Broth
Pour in the beef broth and water. Add the tomato paste (if using), paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
5. Simmer Until Tender
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 25–30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
You’ll know it’s ready when the potatoes are fork-tender and the carrots are soft.
6. Thicken the Stew (Optional)
If you prefer a thicker stew, mix 1–2 tablespoons of flour with a bit of water to form a slurry. Stir it into the stew and let it cook for another 5 minutes until thickened.
7. Final Taste and Garnish
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a touch of color and freshness.
