Steps:
- Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1. Heat half the oil in a shallow casserole dish. Brown the steaks well on each side, then remove from the pan. Splash the vinegar into the pan and let it bubble and almost evaporate. Add the rest of the olive oil and the onion, and gently fry on a medium heat for 10-15 mins until softened and starting to colour.
- Once the onion has softened, stir in the garlic and the paprika. Cook for 1 min more, tip in the red wine and chopped tomatoes, then stir through the tomato purée and bay leaves. Season, pop the steaks back into the pan, then cover and place in the oven for 2 hrs, stirring halfway through and adding a splash of water if needed. Cook until the meat is very tender. The stew can now be cooled and chilled for 2 days and reheated or frozen for up to 3 months. To serve, scatter with coriander.

BEEFS PORTUGUESE STYLE
This is a recipe that I got from my mother-in-law. She doesn't measure, so it took me a while to get it close. The gravy is close to the one they use in Portuguese restaurants.

PORTUGUESE BEEF AND ONIONS (BIFES DE CEBOLADA)
A recipe that I found at recipes4us.co.uk and am posting this for ZWT Spain/Portugal region. I think this would be nice served over pasta, rice or with mashed potatoes. This isn't a spicy dish, so if you are wanting a little zip to the beef/veggie mix, feel free to add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste.

Tips:
- For the best results, use good quality beef. Look for meat that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will prevent the meat from browning evenly.
- Cook the beef over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the flavor.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the beef until it is tender. This will take about 1-2 hours.
- Add the onions to the pan and cook them until they are softened. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the wine and stock to the pan and bring it to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 30 minutes.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Portuguese beef and onions over rice or mashed potatoes.
