Braised Beef Paprika with Egg Noodles

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large saucepan, brown the beef cubes in the canola oil on all sides. Add the sliced onion and cook until tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.

   Add 1/2 cup of water, ketchup, brown sugar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, Dijon mustard, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours, or until the beef is very tender.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of water and the all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the stew. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until thickened.

   Serve the braised beef paprika over a bed of hot cooked egg noodles.
