1 tablespoon smoked paprika

2 400g cans diced tomatoes

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Heat half of oil in a flame-proof casserole pan on high. Cook beef in batches, 2 minutes, until browned. Set aside.

2.Heat remaining oil in same pan on medium. Add onion, cook 5 minutes, until soft. Add bacon, cook 3 minutes, until crispy.

3.Return beef to pan. Add paprika, cook 1 minute, stirring to coat. Add tomato and 1/3 cup water, bring to boil. Cover and cook in oven 2 hours.

4.Add capsicum, cook for 30 minutes, until beef is very tender. Remove from oven. Stir through sour cream, if using. Serve with rice or noodles.

Turn this into a one-pot meal by adding 4 cubed potatoes to the beef for the last 40 minutes of cooking, adding an extra 1/2 cup water.
