Method

In a large pot, melt butter and add onion. Cook till translucent. Stir in cumin seeds and paprika and mix well.

In a bowl, dredge the stew beef with flour. Add beef to the onion mixture and cook for about 2-3 minutes.

Slowly add about 1/4 cup of the beef broth to lift the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Then add remaining broth, diced tomatoes (potatoes and carrots if using - around 1 1/2 cup carrots, peeled and cubed and 3 cups potatoes peeled and cubed) salt and pepper.

Stir and bring to a boil, cover, then reduce to a simmer for about 1 1/2 -2 hours or until beef is tender.
