Pat the beef cubes dry. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Add the beef in batches and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until well browned. Transfer the browned beef to a plate.
Add the chopped onion and sliced carrots to the pot. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften.
Add the ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and sweet paprika. Stir continuously for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes, chopped dried apricots, and beef broth, then stir well.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes. Cover and simmer for another 25–30 minutes, or until the beef and sweet potatoes are tender.
Remove the lid and simmer for 5–10 minutes if a thicker consistency is desired. Serve the stew hot.
