Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Season beef with salt and pepper, then work in batches to sear until deeply browned, ~2 min per batch.
Step 2
Remove beef to a plate. Add onions to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, ~6 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in paprika and tomato paste, cooking for 60 seconds until fragrant and darkened slightly.
Step 4
Pour in broth and return beef to the pan with any juices. Add caraway seeds if using. Bring to a simmer and cook covered for 10 minutes until beef is tender.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until fully combined and silky. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Serve immediately in wide bowls. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or dill.
