Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add beef in a single layer. Brown without stirring for 2 minutes per side, then stir and cook until no pink shows, ~4 minutes total.
Step 3
Stir in paprika and caraway seeds, cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add tomato paste, stir well for 1 minute to caramelize slightly.
Step 5
Pour in broth, scrape up browned bits, add peppers. Simmer 10 minutes until peppers soften and sauce thickens.
Step 6
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread or egg noodles.
