Equipment

  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 Measuring Jug
  • 1 Large pan
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 Chopping board
  • 1 potato peeler optional

Ingredients

  • 500 g minced beef
  • 1 onion
  • 4 potatoes medium
  • 3 carrots medium
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 beef stock cube
  • 1 tbsp gravy granules
  • 2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
  • 3 brown sauce
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 1250 ml water
  • salt and pepper to season

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables:

  • Peel and chop the onion into small slices. Peel the carrots and cut them into thick slices, discarding the top and bottom slices. Peel and mince the garlic or chop it into very small pieces. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes, about 2 cm in size.

Brown the Mince

  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the minced beef to the pan and brown it, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

Cook the Onion and Garlic:

  • Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion to the pan and soften it for a few minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the Flour:

  • Stir in the flour to the beef mixture and cook for a minute to combine.

Add the Carrots and Potatoes

  • Add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the pan, stirring well to coat everything with the flour and beef mixture.

Prepare the Liquids

  • In a measuring jug, dissolve the beef stock cubes in 1 litre of boiling water. In a separate bowl, add 250ml of boiling water to the gravy granules and stir until dissolved.

Combine the Liquids:

  • Pour the stock and gravy into the pan with the beef mixture. Add the Worcestershire sauce, brown sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Simmer and Cook:

  • Add more water if needed to ensure everything is covered. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the potatoes and carrots are tender.
