Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef (mince)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrot, diced
- 2 medium potato, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the browned meat and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Stir in the tomato paste, making sure it is evenly distributed.
Pour in the beef stock and stir continuously to create a smooth, slightly thickened stew base.
Add the diced carrot and potato to the pot, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to season the stew.
After 20 minutes, stir in the frozen peas and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peas are tender.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook it gently until it just starts to turn golden for added richness. Stir the melted butter into the stew.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the mince stew hot, ideally alongside crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
