Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Slowly cooking the onions caramelizes them, adding depth of flavor. - 3
Stir in the sweet paprika, hot paprika, ground caraway seeds, and dried marjoram. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the paprika.

Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Deglazing the pot with broth helps to incorporate all the flavorful browned bits into the soup. - 5
Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender. Stir occasionally.
💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Low and slow simmering is crucial for tenderizing the beef. - 6
Add the cubed potatoes and chopped bell pepper to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
💡 Επαγγελματικές Συμβουλές: Add vegetables in the last part of cooking to prevent them from becoming mushy. - 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the goulash soup into bowls. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Quark and fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread.
