Beef

  • 1 drizzle of oil
  • 500g Tuscan beef grind
  • 1 leek, cut in half lengthways & thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 courgette, grated
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 pack beef spices
  • 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup hot water

Steps

  1. Before you start. Bring a large pot of hot salted tap water to the boil on high heat with the lid on.
  2. Cook beef. Heat oil in a large, deep, fry-pan on high heat. Add beef and cook for about 5 minutes.
  3. Prep & cook veggies. While beef cooks, prep leek, carrot and courgette. Add veggies, tomato paste and beef spices to beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, until starting to soften.
  4. Meanwhile, cook pasta. Add pasta to pot of boiling water and cook for 9-10 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and toss with oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Finish beef. Add canned tomatoes, water measure, sugar and balsamic vinegar to pan with beef. Bring to a simmer, then reduce to medium and cook for about 6 minutes until sauce has thickened and reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. To finish. Prep feta.
  7. Serve. Pasta topped with beef and feta.
