Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Beef
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Season beef chunks with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt butter, then sauté onions for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Return the beef to the pot. Pour in beef broth, bring to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 1-1.5 hours, or until tender.
- Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, thyme, and paprika. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning as needed.

- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add olive oil and warm water. Mix, then knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth.
- Divide into small portions and roll into balls. Flatten into 6-8 inch rounds.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Brush with melted butter.
3️⃣ Assemble & Serve
