This very special chilli con carne recipe uses steak to give this Mexican stew a gourmet twist.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika (this gives a mild heat, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon for hot)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 (about 180g each) trimmed beef rump or scotch fillet steaks, thinly sliced
- 2 x 125g cans red kidney beans, drained, rinsed
- 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves, plus extra sprigs to serve
- Boiled Basmati rice, to serve
- Guacamole, to serve
Method
- Step 1Place the vegetable oil, paprika, cumin and beef in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
- Step 2Heat a wok or large frypan over medium heat. When hot, add the beef mixture and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the beef is browned. Add the kidney beans, tomato and 1 tablespoon water, then simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened. Stir in the chopped coriander, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Step 3Divide the mixture among plates and top with coriander sprigs. Serve with boiled basmati rice and guacamole.
