Method
Season beef all over, heat oil in a heavy based ovenproof pot and brown on one side until golden. Turn over and add onions and garlic to the pan, sautéing as the meat browns on the second side. Add smoked paprika and sauté until aromatic. Add bourbon and bbq sauce, cover and bake at 150°C for 3- 3 1/2 hours, until the beef is very tender.
