                Instructions

                1. Season cubed beef with salt and pepper, then sear in heavy bottom pan for 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain.
                2. Reduce heat to medium. Add a small amount of oil, then onion, carrot, and garlic, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add paprika and caraway seeds, cook for an additional minute.
                3. Add vinegar and reduce, then add tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute.
                4. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, then add chicken stock. Bring to simmer.
                5. Return the drained beef to pot. Cover and place in 350°F oven for 2 hours, occasionally stirring. If the liquid starts to evaporate, you can add up to one more cup of stock.
                6. Remove from oven and taste to check seasoning, adjusting if necessary.
                7. Finish with chopped marjoram and parsley. Serve with egg noodles. Optional: Garnish with sour cream or crème fraîche.
