"This is based on a recipe from a national supermarket, with some tweaking from us to suit dietary needs (we omitted onion and celery, if using only use 1 carrot. Prep time includes initial cooking up of beef. It also freezes well. You could also stretch this to 10 or 12 serves if served with a side salad and crusty or garlic bread."
