Ingredients

  • 4 lbs outside round roast
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cups onions, sliced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 14 cup packed brown sugar
  • 14 cup vinegar
  • 1 12 teaspoons salt
  • 1 12 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 12 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon spanish paprika

Method

  • Brown all sides of roast in the oil in a dutch oven.
  • Remove meat and stir onions until just starting to brown.
  • Pour in 1/4 cup of water or white wine to deglaze the pan.
  • Add all the other ingredients.
  • Note: I specified Spanish paprika because it is less hot.
  • If you use Hungarian paprika use half the amount.
  • Place roast back in dutch oven and spoon some of the sauce over it.
  • Simmer at low heat, turning every half hour for about 4 hours.
  • Serve with cooked noodles.
  • If you use steak or short ribs, cut time to 2 hours.
  • If you use regular short ribs, make it the day before and put in fridge.
  • Next day, take all the fat off the top and reheat.
