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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck into 1-inch cubes, removing any excessive fat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the sweet paprika and ground caraway seeds, allowing them to become fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Check the seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
