Peel and squeeze garlic. Cube a pepper. Peel potatoes and chop them. Cut beef into cubes with 2-3 cm size each. Place tomatoes in a boiling water for some minutes. Then peel them and cut the pulp. Peel and cut bulb onions finely.

Heat sunflower oil in a wok and cook the beef all round. Then fry the bulb onion until it becomes golden. Add paprika, tomato paste and fry the ingredients stirring them continuously.

Add paprika with onion to the wok. Pour the ingredients with warm water. Water should cover the meat evenly. Stew the beef over high heat for about 2 hours. If water evaporates then add it from time to time.

At the end of cooking, add 1/2 liter of water, the prepared potato and pepper. Boil everything for 10 minutes. Then add tomatoes and stew them for 5 minutes. Add garlic, spices, and chopped parsley. Cook the dish 3 minutes more.
