Homestyle Savoury Mince

A homestyled savoury mince is a perfect winter meal using beef mince, vegetables and spices to provide a yummy winter dish.

Ingredients

  • 500 g beef mince
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 carrots sliced or diced
  • 2 cups beef bone broth (stock)
  • 1-2 tbs Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free)
  • 1 tbs sweet paprika
  • 1 tbs tomato paste
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh peas and corn
  • 1 zucchini, finely diced
  • 1 cup diced mushrooms
  • 1 tsp arrowroot, to thicken (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Heat a little olive oil in a hot frypan and add your onions and carrots. Stirring regularly, cook until the carrots have started to soften and the onions translucent.
  2. Add the mince and brown off, adding the garlic at the last minute.
  3. Add the tomato paste and stir, cooking for a minute or so to soften the taste. Add the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, broth and remaining vegetables and cook until the vegetables have softened, and the liquid has reduced right down to a thick sauce. Taste and season to your preference.
  4. If needed you can use a little arrowroot to thicken the sauce if it has not reduced enough to your liking.

Serving suggestions:

  • Serve over a baked potato or sweet potato, with a dollop of sour cream, coconut yoghurt or guacamole
  • Serve with rice or a broccoli/cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables
  • Serve with some quality sourdough or a paleo toast with avocado for breakfast.

Optional Extras:

Extra vegetables: Chopped green beans, chopped spinach and fresh herbs
Curried version: Omit the Worcestershire sauce and paprika and add 1-2 tablespoons of curry powder.
