    Preparation:

    Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

    1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Massage the marinade into the beef arm steak, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
    2. Sear the Steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the marinated steak and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a deep, golden crust forms.
    3. Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add beef broth, red wine, soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
    4. Finish the Steak: Transfer the seared steak to a baking dish. Pour the reduced sauce over the steak, ensuring it’s completely coated. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1-1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.
    5. Serve: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the steak with the rich, flavorful sauce, alongside a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
