- 5 onions cut into slices

- 1 red pepper diced into large chunks, 1 green pepper diced into chunks
- 5 spring onions sliced
- 1 leek sliced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 head of garlic

Method
Preperation. Put the onions, carrots, peppers, spring onions, cumin and garlic into a large pan and place the beef fillet on top. Pour over 4 tsp oil and the worcester sauce. Leave to marinade at least 12 hours or overnight in the fridge.
Take out the beef, reserving the marinade liquid and vegetables and place into a deep frying pan or saucepan with 6 tsp of oil.
