Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp of butter
  • 1 medium onion small diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Hungarian paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoons caraway seeds slightly crushed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ lbs stewing beef cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups carrots thick sliced
  • 3 cups potatoes cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced (optional)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the beef cubes in a bowl and sprinkle the flour on top. Mix until all beef pieces are well coated with flour.


  • In a medium-sized dutch oven or pot, melt the butter over medium heat and saute the onion until translucent. Add the garlic, paprika, and slightly crushed caraway seeds. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.


  • Add the beef cubes to the pot and brown on all sides for about 3 minutes.


  • Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen up any bits and pieces that might have stuck to the bottom. Add the diced tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer over medium-low heat for 1 ½ hours until the meat is tender.
