Method
step 1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and stir fry the onion and pepper until soft. Add the beef and cook for a few minutes until browned on the outside (sealed).step 2
Add the rest of the ingedients, except for the rice and small amount of coriander reserved for decoration. Stir all the ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook gently for 1.5 hours until you have a rich sauce. Stir a couple times during this period to check the consistency and for the meat not to stick to the bottom of the pan. You can add some more water or stock if the liquid reduces too much.step 3
Taste the sauce and add more Tabasco if required. Cook the rice as per the instructions on the packet and then serve with the Chilli and the rest of the reserved coriander scattered on top.
