Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Before you start cooking, take a few moments to prepare:
Chop the onion, garlic, and bell peppers into small, uniform pieces for even cooking.
Slice the beef sausages into bite-sized rounds or keep them whole for a more rustic presentation.
Gather and measure all spices and seasonings to keep things organized while cooking.
Step 2: Sauté the Sausage
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil.
Add the sliced beef sausage to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned on all sides and its natural juices are released.
Remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
Step 3: Build the Base
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Toss in the diced bell peppers and cook for another 4-5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Step 4: Combine and Simmer
Return the browned sausage to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
Add the chopped tomatoes, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to coat the ingredients evenly.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Once the dish is cooked, remove it from the heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve hot with crusty bread, over fluffy rice, or alongside pasta for a complete meal.
