Cut the beef, onion, paprika, and garlic into bite-sized pieces.
Add cooking oil to a pot and stir-fry the beef.
When the meat turns brown, add onion, paprika, and garlic, and sauté together.
Add tomato paste and paprika powder, mixing well.
Add water and salt, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat.
Simmer for about 1 hour until the meat becomes tender.
Serve the finished goulash in a bowl.
