Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 6-8 minutes until softened and translucent, but not browned.

Add the beef mince to the pan. Increase the heat slightly and fry for about 5 minutes, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until the meat is thoroughly browned.

Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the dried oregano, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chilli powder. Cook for another minute to allow the spices to toast and become fragrant.

Pour in the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, and the black beans along with the liquid from the can. Crumble in the stock cube and add half a can of water (approx. 200ml). Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Simmer the mixture uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and reduced. Remove from the heat.
