I pulled a roast out of the walk-in with every intention of doing some kind of pot roast thing. After staring at that frozen lump of beef for a couple of minutes, I decided that I did not want a pot roast thing, and to be honest, no one else did either. I thought about it, worked on it most of the night, and this what came out. A really rich, spicy sauce that will warm your heart on the coldest of Autumn/Winter days, combined with melt in your mouth beef. What you serve with it is up to you, but I will give you a few suggestions. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make autumn/winter essential: yummy beef in chili sauce

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

You will need a slow cooker, crockpot, or Instant Pot, to make this recipe.
Step 3

The Roast I am using a chuck roast; however, with the long cook times of a slow cooker, just about any type of beef will probably do just fine
Step 4

The Paprika There are lots of varieties of paprika floating around out there. I like a hot variety; however, if you want to cool it down a bit you could always use something milder.
Step 5

Make of it What You Will This dish is basically sauce and meat, so serving it up is up to you. How about piling it up on some good garlic mash, or maybe egg noodles; even rice would be an excellent option.
Step 6

Here are a couple of recipes that go well with this dish: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/rice-side/side-essentials-spicy-rice-dish.html https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-potatoes/low-fat-horseradish-mash-potatoes.html?r=4 https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/master-recipe-egg-noodle-dough.html?r=12
Step 7

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 8

In the bowl of your slow cooker, mix the salt, pepper, and flower together, then toss in the cubed beef until nicely coated. Then, add the “OTHER STUFF” ingredients and mix until combined.
Step 9

Before tossing the beef with the flour, pat it dry with a few paper towels.
Step 10

Finally add the “WET STUFF” ingredients and stir to combine.
Step 11

Set your slow cooker to low, and cook until the beef is fork tender, about 5 – 6 hours.
Step 12

In the last hour, stir in the “FINISHING TOUCHES” ingredients.
Step 13

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 14

Serve with rice, mashed taters, egg noodles, or whatever you choose. Enjoy.
Step 15

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
