Ingredients

1 Tbsp. sunflower oil
750 g (1lb 11oz) braising steak, excess fat trimmed, cut into 2cm (3/4in) cubes
25 g (1oz) plain flour
1 red onion, roughly chopped
1 each red and green pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped
1 1/2 tsp paprika
5 Tbsp. tomato purée
500 ml (17fl oz) beef stock
250 g (9oz) long-grain rice, washed
Fresh coriander or parsley to garnish
Cream, to drizzle (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1
  Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Meanwhile, dust the beef with the flour, making sure every bit is coated. Brown the beef in the pan (do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan).
2. Step 2
  Once all the beef is browned and returned to the pan, add the onion, peppers, paprika and tomato purée and fry for 5min. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 1hr or until the beef is tender. Take the lid off for the final 15min of the cooking time, stirring occasionally.
3. Step 3
  When the beef has 15min left to cook, boil the rice according to the instructions on the packet.
4. Step 4
  Garnish the beef with the coriander or parsley and a drizzle of cream, if using. Serve with the rice.
