Yield: 6 servings
Serving size: 7 oz

1 lb top round beef
1 tbsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp chile powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp red pepper
1/8 tsp dry mustard
8 red-skinned potatoes, halved
3 cups onion, finely chopped
2 cups beef broth
2 cloves large garlic, minced
2 large carrots, peeled, cut into very thin, 2 1/2-inch strips
2 bunches (about 1/2 lb) mustard greens, kale, or turnip greens, stems removed, coarsely torn
nonstick cooking spray, as needed

1. Partially freeze beef. Thinly slice across grain into long strips 1/8-inch thick and 3 inches wide.

2. Combine paprika, oregano, chile powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper, and dry mustard. Coat strips of meat with spice mixture.

3. Spray large, heavy skillet with nonstick coating. Preheat pan over high heat. Add meat and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

4. Serve in large serving bowl with crusty bread for dunking.
