Preparation
1
Trim any excess fat from the beef and cut it into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Season the beef generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Remove the browned beef and set aside.
3
Add the chopped onion to the same pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, and cumin, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
4
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes (undrained). Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender. Stir occasionally.
6
Stir in the chopped kale during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, or until it has wilted and is tender-crisp.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
