Cut the beef stew meat into bite-sized cubes if not already pre-cut.
Peel and finely dice the onions. Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and dice into small pieces. Peel and mince the garlic. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onions. SautΓ© until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and red bell pepper to the pot, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, paprika powder, and caraway seeds, cooking for 1 minute to release the flavors.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Return the browned beef to the pot, cover, and let it simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
After 1 hour, add the cubed potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer uncovered for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy with crusty bread or rolls for a satisfying meal.
