Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the beef cubes to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the paprika and caraway seeds, cooking for 1 minute to release their flavors.

Step 6

Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 7

Return the beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 8

Add the chopped red bell peppers, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
