Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 brown onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 500 g beef mince
  • 400 g tinned chopped tomatoes 1 tin
  • 1 carrot cut into small cubes
  • 1 potato cut into small cubes
  • 1 pepper cut into small cubes
  • 50 g butter
  • 100 g garden peas frozen
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ lime juice only
  • 60 g Cheddar grated
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Add the onions and sautee for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Sweeze in the tomato paste and add a tablespoon of caster sugar and mix to combine.
  • Add the beef mince and break it up in the pan. Cook on medium heat until the meat is browned all over. Then add the tinned tomatoes, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes for the beef to soften slightly.

  • Add the peas and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
