Instructions

  1. Cut the beef into 2 cm cubes, pat dry, and brown in batches in very hot oil.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Once softened, add the sweet paprika, marjoram, bay leaf, and allspice. Pour in enough water to cover the meat, cover, and simmer for about an hour.
  3. Add the chopped bell pepper, grated carrot, and tomato paste. Simmer for another 15-20 minutes, until the meat is tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the buckwheat groats. Serve the stew with the groats and pickled cucumber.

Make enough stew for two days—it tastes even better reheated and will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
