Directions:
- Place trimmed and cubed beef in a bowl. Add Worcestershire sauce, paprika and garlic. Stir to combine and let meat marinate for 30 - 60 minutes.
- Preheat pan over medium-high heat. When several drops of water sprinkled in pan skitter and dissipate, approximately 5 - 7 minutes. Add half the beef cubes and braise for 3 - 4 minutes on each side until well browned. Remove from pan and place on a clean dish, along with any extra juices in pan.
- Cook remainder of beef cubes in same way. Remove from pan.
- Add onions to pan and sauté for 6 - 8 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
- Return meat to pan, along with any juices that accumulated on dish, and sprinkle with flour. Stir to evenly coat meat and onions.
- Pour wine and beef stock over meat. Add bay leaves and stir to combine.
- Place cover on pan. When Vapo-Valve™ begins to click steadily, reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes until meat is tender.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed with salt, pepper and extra cayenne, if desired.
Tips:
- For a gluten-free dish, substitute all-purpose flour with oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Substitute cayenne pepper with 1 - 2 small hot red chili peppers, chopped.
- Braising time will vary depending on the cut of meat used.
