description: From Nigel Slater's book, "Real fast food" (page 257)
ingredients:
- 500g minced beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper, sliced thinly
- Worcestershire sauce
- Tabasco sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 175ml tomato juice or chopped plum tomatoes from a tin
- Burger buns or a baguette
method:
- Add the beef to a hot pan and cook until it starts to brown
- Add onion and pepper
- Cook until the beef is fully browned
- Ad the Worcestershire sauce, a few shakes of the Tabasco sauce, ketchup, and tomato juice
- Simmer on a medium heat for 15 minutes. Add water if it becomes too dry
- Serve in a bun or as a sandwich with a baguette
notes:
- The original recipe calls for 200g chopped dark mushrooms (to be added with the tomato juice), and doesn't include the peppers.
- I like adding a bit of mayonnaise to the bread before adding the beef
