Description

Warm 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, caraway seeds, spicy and sweet paprika and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 7 minutes.

Add the garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute. Remove the mixture from the pan, place in a bowl, and set aside.

In a bowl, dust the beef with flour and a large pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Increase heat to medium and cook the beef in batches until golden on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes per batch.

Add the onion mixture, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, tomato paste, and beef broth to the pan.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and can be easily skewered with a fork, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
