Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 brown onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 100 g beef steak porterhouse, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 carrot sliced

  • 1/4 cup McKenzie's Whole Green Lentils rinsed
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Start by adding the olive oil and onion to a pot over medium heat and saute for 3 minutes, until the onion starts to go translucent. Then add the garlic, carrot and celery and saute for another 2 minutes, until the onion and garlic is golden.
  2. Brown off the beef by adding it to the pot and cooking for approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes and beef stock to the saucepan and mix well to combine.
  4. Leave to simmer for 20-25 minutes until everything has softened and cooked through.
  5. Remove from the heat, mix through salt and pepper and serve.

Notes

You can cook this in a slow cooker and cook on slow overnight if you prefer. If so, you might like to add a little water so it doesn’t dry out.
