Ingredients:
500 g lean stewing beef ( In NZ I use topside steak)
1 large onions ( roughly chopped)
2 garlic cloves ( peeled and finely chopped)
2 cups mushrooms ( roughly chopped)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon beef stock powder
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 tablespoons water
Directions:
Remove any fat from the meat and cut into cubes.
Brown in a little hot oil. Do this in batches to keep from ‘stewing’.
Return all meat to pan and add onion, garlic, mushrooms, tomato paste, paprika, stock powder and first measure of water.
Cover and simmer gently for 1-11/2 hours or until the meat is tender.
Mix the cornflour with the 2 Tbsp water and stir into the beef.
Heat for a few minutes until thickened.
Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley if liked.
