Peel the onion and slice into thin strips. Dice the meat (or buy goulash). Sear the meat in a roasting pan with oil on all sides. Add the onion and garlic, sprinkle with paprika and cayenne pepper, and fry everything while stirring. Season with pepper, salt, and caraway seeds. Deglaze with the red wine and broth, stir in the tomato paste, and cover and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. Wash the bell pepper and slice into thin strips. Roughly chop the sauerkraut. Add the bell pepper strips and sauerkraut to the meat and simmer gently for another 15 minutes. Season again to taste and refine the sauce with sour cream (or crème fraîche).
