Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather ingredients and equipment.
  2. Heat olive oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté onions with salt until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

  4. Combine sautéed onions, green pepper, garlic, tomato, paprika, marjoram, caraway seed, tomato paste, broth, wine, and bay leaf in pot. Stir well.
  5. Bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover slightly ajar, and braise in the oven for 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is tender.
  6. Remove from oven, stir, discard bay leaf, and garnish with parsley. Serve warm with spätzle or mashed potatoes.
