👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pot and brown the meat on all sides, until deeply browned. Transfer it to a plate.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveCast-iron pot
    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  3. 3
    Fry the onion and garlic cloves in the oil in the pot 5 minutes, until they soften, and add the carrot.
    Stove
  4. 4
    Pour the wine and water into the pot, scrape up what's stuck to the bottom, and return the meat with the bay leaves. Add the paprika, gluten-free soy sauce, salt and black pepper.
    Stove
  5. 5
    Cover the pot and bake 3–4 hours, until the meat is very tender.
