Serves 4

Pair With...

For this dish, I want a big bold red. Look for a Zinfandel or Grenache to compliment the beef as well as the spices. Both of these wines are great for BBQ as well!

2 lbs chuck roast, cubed
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 stock

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
