Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 pounds (700g) beef chuck or stew meat, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups beef broth
1 cup water
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
Salt to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Sauté Onions and Garlic

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Brown the Meat

Add the beef cubes to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Spices and Tomato Paste

Stir in the sweet paprika, caraway seeds, ground cumin, dried marjoram, dried thyme, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine.

Add Liquids

Pour in the beef broth and water. Stir well, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Simmer

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.

Add Vegetables

Add the chopped bell peppers and diced potatoes. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Season and Serve

Season with salt to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
