1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
2 pounds beef chuck roast, boneless, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 large onion, chopped
1 small sweet red pepper, finely chopped
2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce

1 (16-ounce) package kluski or other egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1 -In a small bowl, mix the flour, 1 tablespoon of the paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt.

Step 2 -Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef and toss to coat, shaking off the excess.

Step 3 -In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat.

Step 4 -Brown the beef in the oil, in batches, adding the remaining oil as needed.

Step 5 -Transfer the beef from the pan with a slotted spoon, reserving the drippings in the pan.

Step 6 -Add the onion and the pepper to the drippings and cook, while stirring, until they are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 7 -Stir the tomato sauce, the tomatoes, the broth, the remaining paprika, and the remaining salt into the onion mixture and bring it to a boil.

Step 8 -Reduce the heat of the sauce mixture and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally to prevent the meat from sticking, until the beef is tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes-2 hours.

Step 9 -In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles to al dente according to the package directions.

Step 10 -Drain the noodles, return them to the pot, add the butter, and toss to coat.

Step 11 -Serve the beef mixture over the noodles sprinkled with the parsley and the cheese.
