Austrian family recipe, low-fat

Finely slice the meat (approx. 2 mm thick), season with salt and pepper. Fry in hot oil, dividing it into two portions, until nicely browned, and remove from the pan. Add more oil if needed and lightly fry the diced onions. Briefly fry the tomato paste and flour, then pour in the broth, stirring well. Add the crushed or chopped garlic, bay leaf, and marjoram, bring to a boil, and then add the cooked meat back in. Simmer with the lid closed until softened – this will take about 1 1/2 hours, depending on the type and thickness of the meat, stirring occasionally. When the meat is nice and tender, season again with the spices if desired. As a side dish, I recommend salad and bread dumplings or Ebly (we usually have both plus a little extra vegetables). Fried potatoes or rösti also go well with it.
