Step 1

Add the olive oil to a deep lidded frypan over medium heat (I love this pan from RACO SmartRelease).

Step 2

Fry the onion and garlic until they start to soften.

Step 3

Add the capsicum and fry for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the beef mince and brown quickly.

Step 5

Add all the herbs and spices and mix through well to coat the beef and veggies.

Step 6

Add the beef stock powder (this helps to add flavour).

Step 7

Add the zucchini and carrot and mix through.

Step 8

Add the tomato passata and the crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine.

Step 9

Add the water and the black beans.

Step 10

Put a lid on the pan and cook for 1 hour.

Step 11

Remove the lid and stir through the frozen corn.

Step 12

Cook for 10 minutes more so the sauce can thicken and become super thick and glossy.
