Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 large, diced carrot
- 1 diced celery stalk
- 500 grams ground beef (minced beef)
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 250 ml beef stock
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, and celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef, and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon, until browned.
Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, beef stock, and dried mixed herbs. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced slightly and the flavors have deepened.
Add the frozen peas and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or use as a savory filling for pies or wraps.
