Cook for about 5 minutes or until vegetables start to wilt. Add tomatoes, rosemary, parsley, paprika and red wine. Turn the heat up to high and add the browned meat to the French oven.

ITALIAN STYLE BEEF GOULASH WITH GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onions and 1 Tbsp water. Cook onions, stirring regularly until nicely softened and opaque, but not browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add the beef cubes and a sprinkling of salt and cook with the onion, stirring and rotating the beef cubes so they cook on each side, about 10 minutes.
• Add the paprika and flour and stir in, cooking for about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, bay leaf, thyme, oregano and rosemary to the pot and stir just to combine. Pour hot water over the meat and onion mixture, just until the water covers the meat. You may not need all of the 3 cups of water or you may need a bit more. Season the pot with a bit more salt and some freshly ground pepper and stir.
• Reduce heat to just a bit above low (or what ever setting maintains a gentle simmer. DO NOT COVER POT with lid, but you can set a lid askew over the top, so moisture can escape, but spatters and heat is contained a bit. Simmer for about 3 hours, checking and stirring periodically and adding additional hot water as needed to keep the mixture moist. Generally adding 1/4-1/2 cups of water a couple of times, but only if needed and as needed. As the cooking time nears the end, add only enough water to keep the sauce loose, but not so much that it will thin the lovely, thicker sauce that is forming. The best strategy at the end part of cooking is to add less water, but add it more regularly (every 5-10 minutes). Watch closely during the last part of cooking to make sure the mixture doesn't dry too much and scorch.
• Taste sauce and add additional salt and pepper, as needed. Serve warm with cooked potato gnocchi, over polenta or pasta. Garnish with some grated Parmesan, if you like.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF GOULASH

Steps:

• Heat the slow cooker to low and heat 2 tbsp oil in a deep frying pan over a medium heat. Season and sear the beef in batches until brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
• Put the remaining oil in the pan and fry the onions for 10 mins until lightly golden. Add the peppers and garlic, and fry for another 5-10 mins, then stir in the flour and all of the spices. Cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the tomato purée, tomatoes and 400ml beef stock. Season well. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then tip into the slow cooker with the seared beef. Add the remaining stock, if needed, to cover the meat completely. Cover and cook for 6-7 hrs until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Season to taste, then swirl the soured cream and most of the parsley through the stew. Scatter over the remaining parsley and some sweet smoked paprika, then serve with small roasted potatoes or brown rice, if you like.
