Picadillo

4 Tablespoons oil
1 kg beef mince
2 onions, finely chopped
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 to 2 teaspoons of minced chilli or to taste
440 g can diced tomatoes
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
½ teaspoon of ground cumin
1 Cup beef stock
1 Tablespoons cornflour

In a large pan or saucepan heat the oil and add the mince. Cook over a medium heat until well browned.

Add the onion, garlic and chilli and stir through. Cover and sweat for 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir through the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, and cumin.

Barely cover the mixture with beef stock and simmer for 30 minutes. The amount of stock added will determine the consistency. If the sauce is a little thin, lightly thicken with cornflour mixed with a little cold water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
