-
2 pounds
beef chuck, cut into 1 to 2–inch pieces
-
1 cup
unbleached all-purpose flour
-
1 to 2 teaspoons
kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
-
2 to 3 tablespoons
vegetable or other neutral-flavored cooking oil
-
2
large onions, sliced
-
1/2 cup
ketchup or tomato sauce
-
1/4 cup
apple cider vinegar
-
2 teaspoons
smoked or sweet paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon
hot paprika
-
3/4 teaspoon
ground mustard
-
1 tablespoon
Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tablespoon
brown sugar

Directions
-
Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a large plate or shallow, wide glass dish. Cover meat in a light dusting of flour mixture.
-
Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear meat on all sides until brown and slightly caramelized. Add additional oil as needed. Remove from pan and set aside.
-
Add sliced onions to pan and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, until translucent, scraping up brown bits as you go.
-
While onions are cooking, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, spices, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and 1 cup water or stock in a small bowl. Add this sauce to pan with onions and simmer 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Add seared meat back to the pan, lower heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until meat is tender. Add more water or stock as needed.
-
Serve with egg noodles or rice.
