Steps:

• Pat the beef dry, then salt and pepper before placing in the pot.

• Transfer beef to a bowl.
• Add onions, garlic and more butter to pot. Sautee until tender, then transfer onion/garlic to a bowl.
• Add can of chopped tomatoes and mustard to pot, stirring and scraping all the bits off bottom of pot.
• Add in the onions and stir until combined with sauce, about 2 minutes.
• Empty the two cups of beef broth into pot, along with the Red Peppers. Stir until slightly softened.
• Add beef, and stir in hot sauce to taste. Remember the hot sauce gains strength as it cooks, so keep testing periodically to get the level heat you want, adding a little at a time.
• Add orange juice and stir over low heat for a few minutes, again testing the level of heat with the hot sauce. Leave uncovered while stirring.
• Once all is to a good boil, cover, reduce heat, and let simmer for one hour. You can even turn it off and let sit for a few hours, to have ready for a meal hours later.
• Now bring the pot to a boil, and add the sour cream. Sitr until blended. Sauce should have a rich orange color, and a creamy, not thick texture. If too thick, add more orange juice.
• Update the level "heat" with more hot sauce, if desired.
• Serve over white rice or thick egg noodles. Enjoy!

CHICKPEA AND BEEF STEW

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the oil, then saute the meat over medium heat until it begins to brown. Add the onions and hot pepper; saute for 6 minutes. Then add the garlic and cilantro; saute for an additional 1-2 minutes. (Be sure not to let the garlic brown or it will taste bitter.).
• Stir in the undrained chickpeas, tomatoes, salt, pepper, cumin, thyme, beef broth and water; bring to a boil and then cover and simmer over medium heat for 50 minute or until the meat is done. Then uncover and cook at medium-high for another 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened up just a little. Stir in the olives and lemon juice and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Serve with thick slices of rustic bread to soak up the flavorful broth.

BEEF & CHICKPEA PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Toss the beef in the flour, sea salt and pepper until well-coated.
• Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a heavy pan or dutch oven. Add the onion and garlic, then add the beef while shaking off excess flour coating. (Set aside any leftover flour because you might need it later) Fry, stirring occasionally, until the beef has turned brown, about 5-8 minutes.
• Add the stock/water, paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, mustard, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce the pot. Stir and bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover, and simmer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
• After two hours, add the drained chickpeas and cook for a further 30 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Add the yogurt/sour cream, but be sure to temper it with a bit of the warm sauce first to make sure it does not curdle. (If your stew looks watery, you can stir the leftover flour you set aside earlier into the yogurt before adding it to the pot to thicken the sauce nicely. If not, just discard the flour and add the yogurt by itself.) Stir until the paprikash turns a dark orange color.
• Serve over egg noodles, pasta, rice, mashed potatoes or, my favorite- fresh gnocchi.
