After three days of staring at a grey wall of mist today the sun returned,not full blown sun is was hazy but sun all the same. I decided it would be a good day for grass cutting,the front which is in the shade a lot was still damp but by early afternoon the back was dry. I started on the larger section and finished it with no back problems,so I had a break. The other side is all strimmer work so great care had to be taken. I finished it with no problems,things were looking good. A long coffee break was the order of the day then I set about strimming the edges, all work finished without a twinge,great stuff. Tools all cleaned and stowed away I had a long break until it was time to make dinner.
I was looking for something different to do with cubed beef and I stumbled across a recipe in the book that came with my combi oven, which bore the title Hungarian Goulash. No not to oven silly the dish. I had heard of it if course but had no idea what was in it so decided to give it a bash. It did not look the most appetizing dish when it was ready to serve but the taste was superb, certainly one to put in my recipe book.
I don't know how authentic this recipe is and I don't really care it suited me just fine. The recipe is for 4 helping so I halved the measures.

700g (1½ lb ) cubed beef
50g (2oz ) seasoned flour
1 large onion
1 red pepper deseeded and chopped
400g (14oz )canned chopped tomatoes
175g ( 6oz ) mushrooms
600ml ( 1pt ) hot beef stock
45ml ( 3tbsp ) tomato purée
30ml ( 2tbsp ) paprika
5ml (1tsp ) sugar
60ml (4tbsp ) soured cream

Method.
Toss meat in flour. Combine all ingredients bar the cream in a 6pint casserole
Cover and place in oven cook on combination,Convection 160c Warm microwave, for 1h 30mins or until the meat is tender.
Remove from the oven and stir in the sour cream immediately.
Sorry it gave no instructions for a conventional oven but I guess it would be the same with a longer cooking time
