Gather @beef chuck{800%g}, @sweet paprika{3%tbsp}, @caraway seed{1%tsp}, @beef stock{1.5%l}, @bay leaf{2%leaf} and @fresh parsley{0.5%bunch}.

Render the @lard{2%tbsp} in a large heavy pot, then brown the beef cubes in batches over high heat until deeply colored; set aside.

Soften the @onion{2} and @garlic{3%clove} in the same fat over medium heat until translucent, about 8 minutes. ~{8%minutes}

Pull the pot off the heat, stir in the paprika and caraway for a few seconds only, then return the beef and add just enough stock to cover.

Add the bay leaves, cover, and simmer gently until the beef is fork-tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. ~{75%minutes}

Add the @tomato{2}, @bell pepper{2} and @carrot{2} with the remaining stock; simmer uncovered 20 minutes. ~{20%minutes}

Add the @potato{500%g} and simmer until tender, about 15 more minutes. ~{15%minutes}

Season with salt, discard the bay leaves, and finish each bowl with parsley.
