Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large saucepan with a lid. Season meat, then cook about one-third over a high heat for 10 mins until browned. Tip onto a plate and repeat with 2 tbsp of oil and rest of the meat.
  2. Add a splash of water and scrape pan to remove bits. Add ½ tbsp oil. Turn heat down, fry onion and garlic until softened. Return meat to the pan, add flour and stir for 1 min. Add treacle, cumin, tomatoes and stock. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hr 45 mins. Stir occasionally and check that the meat is covered with liquid.
  3. Add peppers and beans, and cook for a further 15 mins. The stew can now be cooled and kept in the fridge for 2 days, or frozen for 1 month. Serve in bowls, with sour cream, coriander and cornbread.

    A wonderful easy dish - (added the chilli powder as suggested.) This does need time to marinade to get the full flavours out of it. Tasted much better the next day. Not good with baked potato but excellent with rice

    Also added chilli and it was delicious. Substituted the cannelonis for kidney beans as thats all we had. Definitely longer is better as I tested the meat at the finish time and it was still quite touch, gave it another hour and it was lovely

    Delicious. I wouldn't call it spicy, but have made again adding my own chilli paste for an extra kick!

    This was a delicious meal that is sure to be made again. We used rump steak which turned out incredibly tender. It was slightly watery at the end of cooking so we thickened it up using a bit of cornflour mixed in water, and it turned out a great Sunday meal! :)

    This freezes beautifully, so I make double and freeze it. I add chiili flakes to add extra heat and put in more peppers to up the veg. the coriander is essential, and I use creme fraiche as sour cream is unobtainable where I live in Europe. I use tortilla chips to go with it, and it always get devoured. the cannellini beans mean that I don't have to cook potatoes or rice to go with it.
