Transfer the onion and garlic to an oven proof dish with a lid (be sure to remove all traces of onion from the pan), then return the frying pan to the heat, add in another 2 tablespoon of the olive oil and put in the red pepper.

Transfer the red pepper to the same dish as the onion, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the frying pan, season the cubes of beef with salt & pepper and put them into the frying pan (try not to overcrowd the pan with the beef, you may need to fry it in several batches).

Return the frying pan to the heat, pour the red wine into the pan and scrape off any stuck on goodness from the bottom of the pan. Then, when the red wine has come up to the boil, pour it into the oven proof dish.

Add the beef stock, tomatoes and paprika, season it with salt & pepper and stir everything together. mixing everything together

Put the lid onto the dish and put it into the oven for at least 2 hours (3 or 4 hours is better).

Remove the dish from the oven and serve. We served it with mashed potato and a blob of sour cream. the finished goulash
