Mediterranean Beef Pilaf
Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the roasted pepper elements, and pat the beef dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the beef. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.

Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and the rest of the roasted pepper flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the peas along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
