• 6  ounces boneless beef top sirloin steak
• 1  teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2  cup chopped onion (1 medium)
• 2  cups water
• 1  14-ounce can beef broth
• 1  14 1/2-ounce can low-sodium tomatoes, undrained and cut up
• 1/2  cup thinly sliced carrot (1 medium)
• 1  teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2  teaspoons paprika
• 1/4  cup light dairy sour cream
•   Snipped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Trim fat from steak. Cut steak into 1/2-inch cubes. In a large saucepan cook and stir steak cubes in hot oil over medium-high heat about 6 minutes or until beef is brown. Add onion; cook and stir about 3 minutes more or until tender.

Stir in the water, broth, undrained tomatoes, carrot, cocoa powder, and garlic. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until beef is tender.

Stir in the cabbage, uncooked noodles, and the 2 teaspoons paprika. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes more or until noodles are tender but still firm. Remove from heat. Top each serving with some of the sour cream. If desired, sprinkle with parsley and additional paprika.
