Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add beef cubes to the pot. Brown the beef on all sides, which should take about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the sweet paprika and caraway seeds, coating the beef and onion mixture well.
Add the tomato paste and mix it into the beef, cooking for another 2 minutes to enhance its flavors.
Pour in the gluten-free beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
Add the chopped red bell pepper, sliced carrot, diced potatoes, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 60 to 75 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Check for seasoning and adjust with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish each serving with fresh parsley. Serve hot with a side of gluten-free bread, if desired.
