Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) of beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) of olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 green bell pepper, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) of smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for less heat)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup (120ml) of beef broth (gluten-free if necessary)
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) of tomato paste
• 1/4 cup (60ml) of red wine
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear them until they are browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent. Add the red and green bell peppers and sauté for another 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.
4. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up any bits that have stuck to the pan. Add the beef broth and tomato paste, and stir well.
5. Return the beef to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
