Directions

1. Combine flour, salt and pepper in minimum 5-qt (5 L) slow-cooker. Add beef and toss to coat (reserve the excess flour in the slow cooker). 2. Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Brown seasoned meat, in 4 batches, turning to brown all sides. Return meat to slow-cooker as its browned and add oil as necessary to skillet between batches. 3. Add remaining oil to skillet; cook onions and garlic, stirring, for 1 minute. Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan. Pour over beef; stir in chili sauce, tomatoes with juice and paprika. 4. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours, until meat is tender. 5. Lift out beef with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl. Use a fork to remove the beef bones and trim from the meat, pulling the meat into bite-sized pieces as you go. Stir the meat back into the Goulash. Ladle into bowls to serve.

Tip

No slow-cooker? Use a Dutch oven or enamelled cast-iron roaster to brown meat and then cook, covered, in 325°F oven for about 2 hours until beef is fork-tender.
