Method
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the beef in batches until just browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and put into a medium casserole.
- Add the onions to the frying pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until just transparent. Stir in the paprika and garlic, cook for 1 minute, then pour in the tomato sauce. Fill the jar with hot water and pour into the pan. Stir in the stock concentrate or cube, then add the peppers, mushrooms and sweet potato. Bring to the boil then add to the casserole. Simmer over a medium-low heat for 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.
- Cool completely, then freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw for 24 hours in the fridge. To reheat, put the stew into a large pan over a medium heat and heat until piping hot or defrost and reheat in the microwave according to portion size.
- Season to taste and serve with soured cream and jacket potatoes.
