Beef Time
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the beef and mushrooms, 5-6 mins.
  • Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.

  • Stir through the passata, chicken stock paste, creme fraiche, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both).
