it couldn’t be better

Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces. Peel and roughly dice the onions. Gently heat a roasting pan. Sauté the onions. When they are soft, deglaze with a splash of balsamic vinegar and immediately add a pinch of sugar. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes. Deglaze with several splashes of Worcestershire sauce and dark soy sauce. Once the liquid has evaporated, sprinkle with the paprika. Briefly fry. Add the meat and mix. Add just a splash of hot water, put the lid on immediately, and simmer for 3-4 hours over the lowest heat. Check the pot after half an hour and, lo and behold, a sauce has formed. Now add plenty of salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. If there isn’t enough sauce, add more hot water as needed. If it reduces too much, add a little more water. Finally, season to taste with spices.
