  • Easy
  • Preparation time: 10 minutes
  • Cooking time: 20 minutes to 1½ hours - depending on how soft and rich you want to make your dish
  • Serves 4 - 6
  • Ingredients:

  • 2lb / 900g ground beef
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 inch / 2½ cm piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons medium curry powder
  • 2 cups beef stock (can be made with a stock cube)
  • You will need a casserole pan with a lid. It is worth using one that can be used on the hob as well to save on washing-up.

    Method:

    1. Brown the onions until they become soft and take on a slightly caramelized color - this helps to give an intense flavor to the dish. Keep on one side.
    2. Brown the ground beef in 4 - 5 batches. If you attempt to brown it all at once, you will land up with a gray mass.
    3. Add all the mince back to the pan, along with the onions. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder and beef stock.
    4. Place a lid on the casserole pan and bake for 1 - 1½ hours, until the ground beef is soft and the gravy tastes rich and intense.
    5. Serve this simple ground beef recipe with rice and the following sambals: cucumber raita, chopped tomatoes, shredded coconut, chutney and peanuts.
