Instructions

1. Dice meat into cubes.
2. Place a heavy-based saucepan or casserole dish over a medium heat. Add oil and garlic and cook for 1- 2 minutes until tender. Add curry powder, stir to combine with oil and cook for a further 2 minutes or until fragrant.
3. Turn down the heat and add the beef. Cook for several minutes, browning all over.
4. Add the stock and tomatoes and simmer for 40 minutes.
5. While the beef is cooking, peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes. After the 40 minutes of simmering time, add the cubed potatoes to the beef and allow to cook for 7-8 minutes or until potatoes are almost cooked.
6. Dissolve the flour in the water and add to the pot. Stir well to combine and simmer for another 10 minutes, to allow the sauce to thicken. Add peas and cook for a further 3 minutes before serving.
