Instructions
1
Prep
Trim the beef sirloin of visible fat and cut into 1-inch cubes. Slice the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the bell pepper.
2
Sear
Heat the olive oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat and sear the beef cubes for 3 minutes, turning once, until browned on two sides.
3
Sweat
Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, tomato paste, smoked paprika, and cumin to the pot. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened and fragrant.
4
Simmer
Pour in the canned tomatoes and beef stock, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and cover. Simmer for 40 minutes until the beef is fork-tender, then stir in the cannellini beans and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until the broth thickens slightly.
5
Plate
Season with salt and black pepper, stir in the chopped parsley, spoon into a bowl, and serve hot with the cooked bulgur alongside.
