Ingredients

• 500 g beef chuck or stew meat
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrot, diced
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp sweet paprika powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
• 1 tsp caraway seeds
• 1.5 liters beef broth or stock
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the beef chunks and brown them on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the finely chopped onions and cook until softened and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and caraway seeds. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 7

Cover and let the soup simmer gently for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.

Step 8

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread or rolls for a complete meal.
