Step 1

Heat oil in a Dutch oven to medium high. Salt and pepper the beef, brown in hot oil then remove to a plate. To the same pot add the butter, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the diced onion is translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add flour and paprika, then whisk in the water and simmer to thicken.

Next add the carrots and simmer another 30-45 minutes or until carrots are tender. Add gnocchi and kale and cook 5-10 minutes.
