Creating Creamy Paprika Beef can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Sear the Beef: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear it until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the Paprika: Stir in the sweet and smoked paprika, cooking for about 1 minute to release the flavors.
4. Deglaze with Broth: Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Return the beef to the pot.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to low, cooking for 30 minutes until the beef is tender.
6. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with flour. Gradually add a bit of the hot broth to temper the sour cream mixture, then stir it back into the pot.
7. Season and Adjust: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to thicken for an additional 5-10 minutes.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once thickened, remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
