Instructions:
Preparation of Ingredients: Start by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the beef into 2-inch cubes, chop the onions and bell peppers, mince the garlic, and if using, peel and cube the potatoes.
Brown the Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the beef on all sides, then remove it from the pot and set aside. This step helps to develop a deep flavor in the meat and the overall dish.
Sauté the Onions: In the same pot, add the chopped onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the onions are translucent and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the Paprika and Spices: Reduce the heat to low and add the sweet Hungarian paprika, caraway seeds (if using), and dried marjoram. Stir well to combine and cook for a minute. Be careful not to burn the paprika.
Combine Ingredients: Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the chopped tomatoes (or tomato paste) and chopped bell peppers. Stir everything
