Ingredients

  • 300 g beef, fat trimmed, finely diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 250 ml (1 cup) water
  • 1 cup cassava flour (see Note)
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Marinating time 1 hour

Instructions

Place beef in a bowl and season with half of the garlic, salt and black pepper. Stand for 1 hour, to marinate.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium. Cook remaining garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes. Add beef and cook for 5 minutes or until well browned. Add the water. Bring to the boil. Gradually sprinkle over the cassava flour, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Cook for 3 minutes or until consistent. Season with salt, then remove from heat. Scatter over parsley. Serve immediately.

Note

• Cassava is a native South American plant. Cassava flour is available at speciality grocers or online.
