Tips

  • This dish is a good source of protein.
  • Using salt-reduced stock helps to reduce your sodium intake.  
  • Beef provides iron. Iron is important for energy production. 

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.  
  • Freeze leftovers in an airtight container. Thaw in fridge overnight or in microwave. Reheat until steaming hot. 
  • Leftover savoury mince can also be used to make a cottage pie. Top with mashed potato and bake.  

  • Add canned brown lentils to make this dish go further.  
  • Using frozen vegetables can be a cheaper option than fresh. 
  • Buying in bulk can help save money in the long run. A larger packet of mince may be cheaper. You can freeze half for later use or make a double batch of the recipe and freeze portions for future meals. Alternatively, leftover mince can be used in our beef kofta.

Method

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until soft and translucent.  

Step 2
Add mince and cook for a further 3 minutes or until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.  

Step 3
Add tomato paste, beef stock powder, water and herbs and stir until well combined. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until sauce has thickened.  

Step 4
Stir through vegetables and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.  

Serving suggestion: serve with brown rice, mashed potato or mashed sweet potato and top with a dollop of light sour cream.
