Step-by-Step Instructions
01
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the lean beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned all over.
02
Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the finely chopped onion, diced green pepper, crushed garlic, and ground cumin. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the vegetables soften and the spices become fragrant.
03
Pour in the passata and Worcestershire sauce. Add half of the cider vinegar and a pinch of sugar. Stir well, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 15–20 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
04
While the beef is simmering, prepare the slaw. Trim the carrots and Brussels sprouts. Use a food processor with a grater attachment or a hand grater to finely shred them. Alternatively, slice them very thinly with a knife.
05
In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining cider vinegar and low-fat natural yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the shredded carrots and sprouts, tossing well to coat evenly.
