Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the beef stew meat to the pot and brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the pot, followed by the browned beef, diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, bay leaf, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Stir in the red wine vinegar and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Remove and discard the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
