Put the oil in a heavy
skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the beef in
the oil. Put the browned beef in a 10-cup
casserole with a lid.

the blender, blending for 10 seconds or so, and
then pour the mixture over the beef.
Add the salt,
paprika, oregano, onion, mushrooms, and green
peppers to the casserole, and give it a quick stir.
Cover and put it in the oven for 5 hours. W
hen it

saucepan to make it thicker, if you like, but it's
quite nice just like this.
