How to Make Savoury Mince

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
  2. Sauté until the onion is translucent and softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high. Add 500g ground beef (mince) and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir frequently to break up lumps and cook until the mince is browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Drain off any excess fat or liquid.
  5. Stir in 1 beef stock cube (crumbled), 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped), 1 tablespoon gravy powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Ensure the gravy powder is fully incorporated into the mince to prevent lumps when adding water.
  7. Gradually add 250ml of water to the mince mixture, stirring constantly.
  8. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. If the mince needs thickening, mix 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir into the mince and cook until thickened.
  10. Serve your delicious Savory Mince on buttered toast, with fluffy mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or your favorite steamed vegetables.
