In a large Dutch Oven, brown beef thoroughly in batches on medium-high. Remove beef and sauté onions until soft and turning yellow. Add in garlic and sauté until aromatic, about 1 minute. Return beef to Dutch Oven and reduce heat to medium.
Sprinkle in all the paprika. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes. Add flour, thyme, marjoram and caraway seeds. Stir to coat evenly and cook another 2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir one last time to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Pour in the beef broth and red wine. Scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any fond. Add the Worcestershire sauce and the tomato ketchup.
Reduce heat and simmer on low for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes, scrapping the bottom each time.
Serve in bowls with a side of hearty, crusty bread.
