Ingredients
• 1Kg minced beef• 3 large onions, peeled and chopped• 1 400g tin chopped tomatoes• 3 beef stock cubes • 2 tbsp vegetable oil• 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped• 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
Method:
1. Heat a large saucepan and add about half of the vegetable oil
2. Add the onions, garlic and herbs to the pan and allow them to cook on a high heat for a few minutes, until softened. Once soft, turn off the heat and put the pot to one side.
3. Heat up a large frying pan with a a little of the remaining oil, fry the beef mince - you might need to do this in 2-3 batches if it's a bit much for your frying pan. Fry and stir the mince until it's browned all over. .
4. Tip the mince into the saucepan with the onion mix. Mix them all together and put the saucepan back on the heat.
5. Empty the can of tomatoes into the saucepan and stir into the meat.
6. Add the Worcestershire sauce and 1 litre of stock (stock is made using the stock cubes and 1 pint of boiling water). Stir well.
7. Simmer for about 1 hour, uncovered, until the stock has reduced.
8. Separate into 3 portions - each one will now give you a basic mince mix to use in three separate meals for four people. You can refrigerate or freeze the mix. It will keep fine in the fridge for 3-4 days if in a lidded carton.
