Steps

1
Cook the onions in the lard over low heat for 25-30 minutes until they collapse into a golden mass. This slow start is the whole backbone of the dish.
2
Take the pot off the heat before adding the paprika and stir it through — paprika burns and turns bitter in seconds over direct heat.
3
Return to low heat, add the beef, garlic and caraway, and stir to coat.
4
Add the tomatoes and peppers, then pour in enough stock to just cover.
5
Simmer very gently, partly covered, for 2 hours until the beef is yielding.
6
Add the potatoes and cook a further 25 minutes until tender.
7
Season with salt and pepper and rest 15 minutes. It thickens as it stands and is better reheated the next day.
