Ingredients
-
500 g lean stewing beef (In NZ I use topside steak)
-
1 large onion (roughly chopped)
-
2 garlic cloves (peeled and finely chopped)
-
2 cups mushrooms (roughly chopped)
-
2 tablespoons tomato paste
-
1 tablespoon paprika
-
1 1/2 cups water
-
1/2 teaspoon beef stock powder
-
1 tablespoon cornflour
-
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Remove any fat from the meat and cut into cubes.
- Brown in a little hot oil. Do this in batches to keep from 'stewing'.
- Return all meat to pan and add onion, garlic, mushrooms, tomato paste, paprika, stock powder and first measure of water.
- Cover and simmer gently for 1-11/2 hours or until the meat is tender.
- Mix the cornflour with the 2 Tbsp water and stir into the beef.
- Heat for a few minutes until thickened.
- Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley if liked.
