Ingredients
- 500 grams beef chuck, cubed
- 2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons hot paprika (optional for spice)

- 1 liter beef broth

- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed beef and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, sweet paprika, and hot paprika (if using) and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste and stir well, allowing it to cook for another 2 minutes.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Stir to combine.
Add the caraway seeds, dried marjoram, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cubed potatoes and diced red bell pepper to the pot. Simmer uncovered for another 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes and beef are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread on the side.
