Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 pounds beef chuck, cubed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons caraway seeds
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, quartered
• 3 carrots, sliced into rounds
• 2 bay leaves
• 0.5 cups sour cream (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef chuck cubes with salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the pot in batches, browning evenly on all sides. Remove the browned beef and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and caraway seeds, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly add the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the tomato paste until dissolved.

Step 7

Return the browned beef to the pot, followed by the diced red bell pepper, baby potatoes, carrots, and bay leaves. Stir everything together.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 90-120 minutes, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
