Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef chuck
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp ground caraway seeds
- 5 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck into 1-inch cubes, removing any excessive fat.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding, and sear them until they're browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
Stir in the sweet paprika and ground caraway seeds, allowing them to become fragrant, about 1 minute.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Add the tomato paste, salt, black pepper, zucchini, and bay leaf. Stir to mix well.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
Check the seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
