Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 brown onion/yellow onion finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- 500 grams beef mince/ground beef
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 375 ml beef stock
- 1 ½ cups frozen vegetables peas, carrot, corn
- 2 teaspoons cornflour/cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large saucepan or pot with tall sides over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the 1 brown onion/yellow onion. Cook for about 2–3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the onion turns translucent.
- Stir in the 2 cloves garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the 2 tablespoons tomato paste and ½ teaspoon curry powder and cook for a minute or two, until the tomato paste darkens slightly and the curry powder becomes fragrant. If it starts to get too dark, turn down the heat and add a splash of beef stock to deglaze the bottom of the pan.
- Add the 500 grams beef mince/ground beef. Break it apart with a spoon or spatula and cook until browned.
- Add the 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce, 375 ml beef stock and 1 ½ cups frozen vegetables. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes to develop the flavours.
- In a small bowl, mix the 2 teaspoons cornflour/cornstarch with a little water to make a smooth paste. Stir this into the mince and simmer for a few more minutes, until the sauce thickens into a gravy.
- Season with Salt and pepper to taste to taste and serve.
