Prep Time: 20M
Cooking Time: 45M
Serves: Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large onions, finely diced
- 11/2lb (675g) lean beef, cut into 1/2in (1cm) dice
- 8 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 11/4 cups red wine
- 2 × 28oz (800g) cans chopped tomatoes

Directions:
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan, add the onions, and cook on a medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the beef and cook, stirring frequently, for another 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, then pour in the wine and allow to simmer and reduce for 5 minutes.
