Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g beef brisket
- 2 large carrots
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 200 g cabbage
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 liters beef broth
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 500 ml water
Instructions
Dice the beef brisket into small, bite-sized cubes. Peel and chop the carrots, potatoes, and onion into rough chunks. Mince the garlic finely. Shred the cabbage into thin strips.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced beef brisket and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavors.
Pour in the beef broth and water, then stir well. Add the bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 45 minutes to tenderize the beef.
Add the carrots, potatoes, and cabbage to the soup. Simmer for another 30 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the bay leaves and stir in the freshly chopped parsley just before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or flatbread!
