2 pounds of round beef cut into 3/4 inch cubes

In a heavy black skillet add olive oil, heat slightly then add the beef, onions, and garlic, stirring until the meat is brown. Add catsup, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt, paprika, mustard, cayenne red pepper and wine. Stir thoroughly. Cover tightly and simmer until meat is tender, about 2-21/2 hours. Stir flour into water and blend until smooth. Then stir into meat mixture. Stir until mixture comes to boiling. Let boil while stirring for 2-3 more minutes. Serve over hot rice or egg noodles.
